If I see another dumb digital add I am going to puke. Advertising people take note.
The cost of airtime is HUGE. The cost of producing an ad is miniscule - about the same as the cost in airtime of showing it nationally ONCE. If these visual tricks did not work- i.e. if they did not sell cars or soda or toothpaste, the advertisers would be doing something else- pronto.

Your one consolation is that in 10 or 20 years they will be a joke. Like big afros and bell bottoms, or gated reverb snares.
