Must be kidding me

It's happened.

I vaguely recall that long ago, when signing up for my hotmail account, I entered my year of birth on some form. This data is used to help them direct certain kinds of advertising my way. I just turned 35, and behold!

The ads I see now are for Weight Watchers. Several Botox-related products and at least one claiming to be Better ( Read more... )

whatever, bah, irritation

I put ad blocker plus on my computers and I don't get hotmail ads anymore! Yipee! Recommended.

I loved that video. I have such mixed feelings about Dove. On one hand, their ad campaigns are beautiful and refreshing and they put out little videos like the one above. But they also sell us anti-aging creams and stuffto diminish cellulite.

Yeah, Dove is weird. It's a little bit like BP using the tagline "Beyond Petroleum" and changing their logo to a sunflower: They take both sides of the debate. But still, it's nice to see the words "self-esteem fund" all together in one place.

Now if we can just get videos like that in the US ...
