Not so much the ad (tho it's pretty horrible), but the content and television show in their entirety. Hurl!

This is a great little clip series of Billy Mays, probably a household spokesperson, who unfortunately hasn't matured yet to the maturity of logical hand gestures, or USING HIS INSIDE VOICE.
Ratings: 1 (low) to 4 (high) Stickiness: 2.5 (we're talking about it) Quality: 1 Hit/Miss: Miss Overall: 1.5 Comments: Billy Mays has mechanisms that seem artificial and canned, and dammit, I just don't like being yelled at AND pointed to at the same time. Want to drive me away from whatever product is being advertised? Hawk it by one-note Billy Mays.
(No offense to Billy personally, he's made a growing career out of sales pitching. I just can't stand to hear or see it.)
Rating (1-low to 4-high): Stickiness 4 Quality 4 Hit or Miss? Hit Overall: 4 Comments: Well designed, contains an "aha" moment, technology-oriented design flows well (no pun intended) with product's tech slant. One to remember.
The purpose of this site is to illustrate advertising campaigns that work - or not - from the viewpoint of a knocking-on-40 woman with disposable income. You probably won't enjoy the views expressed herein if you suffer through the following foolishness:
1. "Reality" tv 2. Television programs that are the equivalent of video karaoke. 3. Television programs that involve unknowns and c-listers learning to and competing in dance. 4. Anything that involves being voted on (or off).
This is dedicated to people who have a few remaining brain cells to rub together, who enjoy the occasional polysyllabic conversation, and who remember what punctuation is - even if only for reminiscence.
