if i were writing ads...



if i were writing ads...

i'd have a happy and wise-sounding announcer quizzing a wide
demographic/psychographic of people with the following buzzphrase:

what's the last thing YOU looked up on wikipedia?


likewise, for another client:


what's the last thing YOU googled?


in either case, the commercials would demonstrate the astonishing
diversity of information available on each search engine.

for contrast, the question would alternatingly be met with clueless
replies from financially well-off elderly people:


"wiki? what's wiki?"


"google? what's google?"


sporting very puzzled (yet totally apathetic) looks on their faces.

and no clarification would be given to these clueless people.
the announcer would just ignore them and move on to the next
person.


or maybe that would work out better. puzzled answers from all.

not just the well-off older people. leave it completely mysterious.

and at the end of the commercial, just the logo.


....


of course, wikipedia doesn't sell ad space, so... for them,
maybe the commercial would be a fundraising thinger.


....


if i were writing ads... i'd be doing so and so.


so what, right?

yep.

--------------------- How flawed is your "logic"? ---------------------

IF 3 + 3 = 5
AND 2 + 2 = 3 + 3
AND 3 > 2
THEN 2 + 2 = 5 is:

a] True
b] False
c] Unable to Determine
d] Logical Cognitive Dissonance/y

------------------------------ FREE CLUE ------------------------------

Don't bother making the false assumption
that the given assumptions are false.

---------------------------- S P O I L E R ----------------------------

The correct answer is: [a] True -- probably
(but only if you can explain it logically)

Because even a monkey has a 25% chance of picking the right answer.
