Video iPod terrifies TV advertisers


  • Broken Logic
October 19, 2005 - 11:52am

bq. The bigger fear, and some say opportunity, for advertisers is how to keep their brand messages in front of consumers as iPods, other portable media players and increasingly sophisticated mobile phones pick up speed and vie for time once dominated by television and the 30-second ad.
Video iPod terrifies TV advertisers

No one seems to pause and think: "Maybe they don't want our 'brand message'? Maybe that's one of the selling points of the technology?"

Sometimes I think advertisers want us to just lie down and stare at their commercials all fucking day. No, thanks, I have a brain and it prefers content...

Quotes

“The great temptation of the Catholic . . . is the temptation to intellectual pride. It is so obvious that most of his critlcs are talking without in the least knowing what they are talking about, that he is sometimes a little provoked towards the very un-Christian logic of answering a fool according to his folly. He is a little bit disposed to luxuriate in secret, as it were, over the much greater subtlety and richness of the philosophy he inherits; and only answer a bewildered barbarian so as to bewilder him still more. He is tempted to ironical agreements or even to disguising himself as a dunce . . . So many people are at once preoccupied with it and prejudiced against it. It is queer to observe so much ignorance with so little indifference. They love talking about it and they hate hearing about it . . . I fancy there is more than meets the eye in this curious controversial attitude; the desire to ask rhetorical questions and not to ask real questions; the wish to heckle and not to hear.” — The Thing, NY: Sheed & Ward, 1929, l34, 81-82 – G. K. Chesterton
