Why Ford needs our money to charge us money 2 February, 2010 at 10:06 pm

Seriously, who’s in charge over there?  Ferrets with ADD?

One of the Metro stations I go through every day (it’s cold outside, dammit) has three side-by-side adboards with the SAME Ford ad.

Actually, that’s not so bad.  There are 8 at the other station that always seem to be sold as a set; most people put up two or three different ads, but one appearing three times isn’t uncommon.  Still, 3 of 3?

My big issue here is that they ads are “No. XX in a series.”  Actually, even that.  Frankly, I’d've done A, +1 and +2 or something, but whatever.

No, the ISSUE here is that they update the ad twice a day.  In the morning when I come in it’s No 23 in a Series.  When I leave it’s No 24.  The next morning, 25.  Seriously?  Twice a day you’re paying for someone to change the ad?  SERIOUSLY?  because there HAS to be a fee for changing the sign.  Even if you’ve gotten the space for six weeks or something, there’s got to be some fee.  And twice a day, the damn glue will still be setting by the time you smear the next one over.

Come ON people.  You needed funding because your business model wasn’t working.  so what do you do?  you manage to find something even WORSE???
