Some of you must have missed the superbowl ads where people and frogs
were getting frozen to beverage cans, and movie actors moved the grand
canyon with a horse. Marketing is a fact of life. Seems to me the
irresponsibile thing too many of our society do is put too much stock in
the marketeers. I usually select products on their merits, not on the
marketing. Maybe you do too. But the marekting works, and companies
have to use it to stay profitable.
So, what do you think of their product?
