Very Direct Ads From The City Of Toronto Against Littering
Jackson 2 years ago
Toronto has changed. I worked in Toronto in the 1980s. A movie company had to hire extra security because a building near my office was being used as for a movie that supposedly occurred in a different city and pedestrians kept picking up the litter and putting it in a trash can. They also asked local businesses to tell their staff not to pick up the litter at that site.
Tiny Dancer 2 years ago
There's also the famous story about a film crew setting up an alleyway to resemble an American city, covering the walls with graffiti, knocking over garbage cans (with extra trash, 'cause we didn't have enough real garbage for the shoot) and such. They went to lunch, came back and had to redo it all over again as the locals had cleaned it up.

I am picky. What does the sign say “Huggies” when these are clearly “Luvs”?
Despite the internet being around for decades, 2017 was the first year that online advertising surpassed non-digital ads. While this might seem surprising, given the absolute dominance of online content, marketing, and shopping, it’s more a reflection of just how cheap digital ads are, compared to physical advertisements.
After all, once you have the design and copy, you can copy-paste images until your hard drive gives out. A physical ad, for example, a billboard, has to be printed, installed, and then you generally pay a monthly rent on it. A lot more costly and not guaranteed to get as many eyes on it as a banner on the side of a well-trafficked site.

This "Seatbelts Save Lives" Campaign

The ad I always remember that I'm pretty sure was about seatbelts (couldn't find it online) was actually a slow motion image of people flying through the windscreen of their cars.

My shelter cat totally chose me. I had my heart set on adopting a little kitten, but a sweet couple fell in love with the little kitten that I had planned to adopt. As I was wandering around the cages I heard a little meow and a tiny paw stuck out of the cage and bopped me. At that instant I knew I had been "chosen." I love my chonky, mischievous cat. And I'm sure she likes her human can-opener.
For example, Volkswagen’s “The New Golf” ad was basically a puzzle game that could be played directly from your browser. In it, the “player” would be given a random assortment of tiles with roads on them, which they needed to rearrange. Not only would it draw someone's attention, it represented the car’s ability to navigate through anything.

Unfortunately, many banner ads are cheap, annoying, and often quite useless. As any functional site doesn't want to scare away users, these ads will be positioned at the margins of the screen so the main content is more visible. Think about it this way, an ad on the side might be a bit irritating, but it doesn’t stop you from reading this article, a cookie recipe, or a watch-review. Compare that to how an unskippable ad on YouTube makes you feel.

The Best Tampon Ad I've Ever Seen
GoGoPDX 2 years ago (edited)
This! When I was in Belize when I was about 13, we went out snorkeling one day. We were told that there were more than likely be nurse sharks, and possibly some other species. I had gotten my period the day before, and didn't really think about it until we were on the boat going out to the place. All. Of a sudden I remembered that sharks can smell a drop of blood up to 500 meters away. I was terrified! I was convinced all the sharks of all kinds were all going to swarm around trying to find the source and attack. When we goy there I refused to get off the boat, which isn't like me, as I am quite adventurous. My mom asked what was up, and I told her. She tried to tell me I would be fine, but I was convinced. Then the guides got involved, thinking I was just genuinely scared,but I still would not get in and they didn't understand why I was convinced I would be attacked. My mom then informed the 3 guides and a random elderly woman and her hard of hearing husband who stayed in the boat "she is in her period and thinks the blood will attract the sharks". Well, one guide acted like he was suddenly busy, another guide looked uncomfortable and was trying to awkwardly come up with what to say, but the third guide was very nice and explained I would be fine. He went into how his wife and daughters (come to find out he had 5) snorkeled and dove and swam all the time, even on their periods, and have never been attacked or swarmed by sharks. The elderly lady then was explaining very loudly what was happening to her hard of hearing husband, who kept asking her "what!?say again?!" Well, 13 year old me was so mortified that even if I still was convinced I would be attacked, I got in that water just to save the embarrassment. Well, the sharks did not swarm or attack me, and I ended up enjoying the snorkeling very much, but then did not want to get back in the boat due to the fact that everyone has now heard the story and it was the topic of conversation the boat ride home.

Kea_Tortilla (she/her) 2 years ago
I am writing this comment to clarify that sharks are in no way attracted to period blood. They can smell it, but it will not cause them to come near your. In 2022, only 108 people reported an incident with a shark Of those, 32 were provoked and almost none of them were fatal. In comparison, the uk alone experienced over 200 fatal drownings in the sea. Even sharks with bad reputations, such as bull sharks and great white sharks, almost never intentionally harm humans. Most shark 'attacks' are pure curiosity - sharks are inquisitive, and they use their mouths to investigate things. Once they realise that we taste gross, they almost always let go. I know this is only an advert, but it contributes to the constant misinformation being spread about sharks every day. Shark numbers are declining fast, and these sort of things make people less likely to donate, volunteer or otherwise help to save our sharks.
Kea_Tortilla (she/her) 2 years ago
To add to this - I understand that sharks are scary to us. They are big animals and they live in the ocean, an environment in which we are vulnerable. I have nothing but sympathy for those who have been hurt by sharks, and I do not mean to suggest that they are not wild animals that can injure you. However, this advert presents sharks in the same way that the majority of shark-related media does - as vicious killing machines. You don't have to love sharks, but they are animals that deserve respect and protection. I think they're fabulous.

Researchers have found that regular internet users have developed what they called “banner blindness.” Because digital ads are often in the same places, people’s brains start to shut out these images and just ignore them automatically. While this phenomenon was first observed in 1998, we’ve gotten even better at limiting “unnecessary” information, a vital skill when nearly all the knowledge in the universe is available at the tip of our fingers.

A 2015 study even found that perhaps 93% of all internet ads go unviewed. People skip banners, do something else while unskippable video ads play, and just do their best to not notice a marketing team's work. However, advertisers have gotten better at targeting, as the click ratio has been on the rise since the early 2000s, although 1998 was one of the “best” years, with a 2% click-through rate (CTR).

But as horrible as it is for the disassociated caregiver, no matter how caring and attentive they may be, it is a thousand times more devastating for family and loved ones, watching the person they love disappearing and losing themselves more and more, day by day, while they themselves must shoulder the burden of looking after the physical well-being of this shell of a person that they once knew...

The result is that almost no one else can even try to claim “extreme” credentials, as they inevitably have to now compete with a company that helped a guy fall from the stratosphere. Clothing and shoe brand Nike (as if I needed to clarify that) is also hard at work building a reputation as the company for athletes and people interested in fitness. Their Nike+ app and devices, while not at all connected to clothing, are a good example of using a product to sell the brand.

My Wife Asked Me To Make Some Ads For Our Garage Sale On Facebook. I Think I Found The Perfect Hook

Sometimes things like this backfire - like with the British couple who jokingly sent a wedding invitation to Queen Elizabeth II. Incidentally Good Old Lizzie had an event at the same venue that day and decided to actually show up to congratulate (https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/guest-honour-queen-leaves-couple-685253).

Sugar-Free Chupa Chup Lollipop Ad
🇳🇬 Asi Bassey 🇳🇬 2 years ago
Considering Aspartame has been recently classified as “possibly carcinogenic” this ad could mean ‘so dangerous even ants want to have nothing to do with it’.
Kathy 2 years ago
No, it's true, ants show zero interest in products manufactured with sugar alternatives, such as Aspartame for instance. Firstly, they seek out sugar as an energy source, but they also recognize certain chemicals in food and will avoid them like the plague. Pity we don't have the same instincts!

This Inflatable Lock Advertisement On A Storage Building

Museum quality storage! In all museums I've worked in they have been so darn worried about their storage facilities. So if you can get stuff stored at museum quality then you should be more than fine. Air should be dry enough to avoid mold to form. And there should be a closed ventilation system so you get rotation in the air but controlled with temperature and level of dampness. Also, it needs to be a closed system so there is little to no risk of bugs getting in. Can't remember if there's more needs regarding museum storage that is about the room only. There are needs regarding how to storage the items in the room on top of the needs about the room itself, though. :)

This makes sense if you've ever lived in Toronto or the Grater Toronto Area that the TTC serves. Toronto and the Southern Ontario region (Hwy 401) is notorious for having some of the worst traffic in the world. There's an old joke about a major highway being called the Don Valley Parking lot. It's actually parkway but the traffic can get so bad that it grinds to a stand still.

Every single medication against diarrhoea has lactose in it which means my d gets worse not better. It's ridiculous. I had to change some of my prescription meds because those tablets had lactose in an were also causing issues. I thought a lot of people were lactose intolerant so why would there be lactose in imodium?
