There's a new ad campaign for some compamy (shows how bad it is right there --I have no idea what they're advertising) where somebody is in an awkward situation with someone else, then suddenly shout out, "Thank you!" while the other person turns from angry to inexplicably flattered.
Somebody thought this up, and this company approved it and paid lots of money for this crap. Somebody should be fired -- wait, a lot of somebodies should be fired.
Recent effective campaigns I've seen --Sonic Drive-in, and Sprint PCS.
Oh I hate that commercial. Yes, I agree. One of the bad ones.
