Brilliance in Advertising
Well, maybe not so brilliant as I can remember the words on this billboard alongside the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, but I can't remember the company that put it up. Whatever the case, it was genius in a pure form.
Basically, all it said was, "Somewhere, someone is playing bongo drums." or something to that effect as I can't remember the exact wording. But what's awesome is that to me, this means that yes, someone is playing bongo drums (see yesterday's post) and I hate them. I want to get as far away from them as possible and thus want to travel. To those who do like bongos and the degenerates that can't bang out a rhythm to save their bearded, soap-avoiding skins, this is a welcome call to travel where these folks are.
Superb. You read it as you feel it should be, but have the same reaction--travel and thus the travel website makes money by walking the middle line. It's like what politicians do, but smarter.
