I know I haven't exactly kept to that one post per week idea, but I've been busy...
Walking through Kohl's earlier, I realized something. Looking around, I saw nothing but bright, flashy colors and big, attention-grabbing letters. I remember being a child, and falling victim to the cool little animations and pictures plastered on everything down the toy aisle, and being subjected to the idea that having one of them would make me just as awesome as whoever was in the picture on the box. Looking back on that, a thought came to me.
Advertising sucks.
I know I'm not the only one who was fooled by fake images and the false messages they convey. Everyone was. And because if that, we've wasted more money, more time, and more resources than we care to remember. So maybe it's time to cut back on it, you know? Force advertisers to send a more realistic message with more creative means. It's doable. Plenty of companies have done it. Why not every one of them?
