No, not that “missionary position”. The position I’m talking about is me, by myself, with my butt glued to a chair, at the library for several hours a day starting tomorrow on a mission to find some examples of extraordinary advertising.
It just seems like it’s been too long. Once again, careful scrutiny of The New York Times Sunday magazine section turned up nothing–that’s three weeks in a row. So I’m going to begin with Aardvark Illustrated and work my way to Zymurgy Today, if need be, until I find some.
I’m not expecting much, but since I want this site to reflect accurately the amount of extraordinary advertising visible at any given moment, I should have at least one for every ten postings.
Wish me luck. If I don’t get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from turning pages, by the middle of the week I should have something to report.
I’d better. Or the advertising industry is in a vastly less imaginative position than any missionary might conjur up.
Good luck on your quest. You might have better luck finding the Holy Grail. I’m starting to believe that it doesn’t exist anymore. Every night I watch televison looking for a great spot. None to be found. Haven’t seen a great print ad in eons. I freely admit that my work is part of the problem lately.
