4 May 2009Enough with the hysteria, people!
I can’t say I’m surprised when I see advertisements in which companies are trying to use the present economic climate to their advantage. I was expecting the onslaught of money saving ads, pushing of hybrid cars and changes in interest rates. But it’s getting laughable.
I was scrolling through my Google reader this week when the following paid advertisement popped up:
Come on! This has gotten downright hokey.
I can’t even imagine how advertisers are going to use the new Swine Flu to make money…
Swine Insurance?
Organic Pork Free clothing?
47 new recommended vaccines for your baby?
Pig repellent?
