Oh advertisements; how very interesting you are. Sure, sometimes you may be really annoying, but other times you sneak up on me like a Sneaky McSneakertons and make me want to purchase your product more than I want to breathe! And believe me, sister, I like to breathe.
Hopefully obvious sarcasm aside, in this day and age companies are willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money to have their product seen. According to the internet and confirmed by Wikipedia (read as: "reliable source"), a 30 second time slot during Super Bowl XLVII last February cost around $3,700,000 dollars. THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIRTY SECONDS.
Advertisements are everywhere. Literally. Sides of buildings? Check. Sides of vehicles? Check. On the door of my apartment? Check. Not to mention the more classic means of advertising such as Television, radio and internet.
Obligatory introduction aside, my favorite advertisements came from the era of gangsters and deco fonts, the 1940's! While blatant racism and sexism may run rampant during this time period, there is just something charming and endearing about classic advertisements, in my opinion at least. Now stop reading and take a stroll down memory lane with me! What do you mean you weren't alive yet? I wasn't alive yet, either? WELL JEEZ NOW THIS WHOLE POST IS POINTLESS. SHIT.
