Sales is a nuanced mistress. Free to earn, free to fail, free to flee if you can't close a sale.

Weekend Ad Round-up
I only get one day a week to really watch ads. That's Sunday.
Here's my take.
Burger King and 'March to Breakfast'.
Basically my take-away is, if you're an idiot and not sure what to do in the morning, join us at Burger King. Oh BK, how far and how fast you've fallen.
Dodge Challenger attacks the Crown.
Can you say hyperbole? Really? We got Dodge Challenger and Freedom right. And that's about it. Where is that Challenger manufactured btw? And the GW stand in was poorly cast.
Viagra - You're at the age.
Pretty cool ad in many ways. Imagery, music, concept. If you have a lagging peener. Does this really still need advertising?
Direct TV - No respect.
Every one of these ads is killer. Period.
Progressive. All.
Catchy. Fun. Dare I say, almost sexy? But I'll stick with State Farm, thanks.
All promos for coming TV.
Yeah, it's awesome. We get it. I know you have to do what you do, but let's face it, we either like it or we don't. Your promo is not helping, beyond awareness that is.
Fedex. Specifically the 'Exchange Student', let's go global.
Rocking. Great concept and execution. I love you FedEx. Haven't seen a bad one yet.
Sprint 4G Epic
Srsly? Sorry about your FAIL.
Sony 3D with Justin and Peyton.
Sony, you used to dominate. This ad is the first sign of life I've seen in a while. Rock on!
All Pharma Ads
4-10 seconds of info, 10-20 seconds of disclaimer. You need a new plan. End of story. Uncle Sugar is not your enemy. You are.
Capital One - What's in your wallet?
Can you say 'jumped the shark'? My daughter still likes you. WAKE UP!
--Mid-commentary commentary. Brady-Welker, priceless.
Allstate - I'm your ***
This campaign is outstanding. It is BEGGING to go viral. Kudos on concept, poo on execution overall.
--More commentary, strictly Football -- If you are in the booth, you should mostly shut the fuck up.
--Oh yeah. Taunting in the NFL is OK. Are you kidding me? I don't love the taunters, but I love their right/opportunity/ability to do so.
Sprint - All you can eat.
Great campaign. I now have Sprint as a result. HUGE regrets.
That's it for this week. Football is finished and the dishes await.
Cheers, and remember, if you aren't entertained, informed, or prompted to action, someone's advertising budget was a complete waste!
