>>Lately I’ve thought to myself: “Take away the car ads from radio and TV and they are bankrupt”. It’s non stop here in NY.
Its nonstop everywhere, but watch the focus of the commercials. It isn’t about the car. Its about the stupid bells and whistles like MP3 players and nav systems for people that can’t find a restaurant on their cell phone.
They are marketing to people who stand in line talking on “last year’s iPhone” for 12 hours to get “this year’s iPhone”.
Yes - these adds seem to be selling smartphones on wheels. Rented a few of these vehicles lately for work travel. Highly disracting, IMHO.
