Everyone has strong opinions about the show.

So, the world we live in today is definitely and officially different than the one I grew up in. Sure, there is heightened security, but we had that with any major foreign dignitary or royal visit. We have distrust (cold war) and disagreements (Cuba) and ignorance (Iran-Contra). This is something new and different and scary now. How does an ad company run a campaign if the very real threat of the unknown works against any campaign that would be sent out into the public? Think about that for a second.



An ad company cannot drop leaflets on a crowd without being told they are littering and killing trees. Then, they cannot drop anything else for fear that fear will cause a panic. Imagine seeing some kind of food item drop out of the sky, or a liquid without description in a tube or worse yet, a powdery white substance that the CDC eventually identifies as the new Tide(tm)?



These are sad and disturbing times folks. I for one weep at the loss of innocence.



Peace.
