BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

When I first saw that episode, it was October in MN. A perfect time for Haralson apples at the orchard in Jordan that we go to.

The ad literally made me hungry for apples and then I went and bought 5 lbs of Haralsons and 5 lbs of Crab apples. Everyone was happy. My kids love the Crabs from Minnesota Harvest orchard.

I legitimately thought that "crab apples" meant that they were inedible until this moment.

My grandparents lived next to an experimental farm and sometimes they were given like a bushel of apples to be neighborly. Some of those were amazing and I sometimes wonder if they have a real name now.

Jerry might actually have a point in that you don't need to overthink advertising. If people want to buy a thing they'll buy it, you just have to remind them it's a thing.

I think my favorite is still when Burger King had their ad having the guy very specifically trying to trigger your Google device to read off facts about the Whopper. It typically read the first few lines in the Wikipedia article about it, so BK kept trying to edit in their brand-specific wording into the opening, and Wiki mods kept telling them to gently caress off and editing it back. This culminated in people making (arguably) funny edits to the Whopper page so that Google phones would read dumb poo poo about the Whopper instead of prepared lines by BK themselves. I think the campaigned lasted less than a week, if even that.

Fake edit: As I was typing this, I thought it had been 2 different ad campaigns, one with McDonald's editing their Big Mac page, and one with Burger King using OK Google. Ends up they were both facets of the Burger King thing, which just makes it even more hilarious.

real edit: I read a bit more into it, and Google and Wikipedia both took steps to stop the ad from working, since it violated Wikipedia's rules about advertising and was just sort of a lovely user experience for Google Home users. BK managed to get some workarounds, and ended up winning an award for it. Christ.

See, that may be evil, but it is clever.

and I can respect evil genius.

I use the distinctive ring from Homicide: Life on the Street for a "you've got mail" alert on my PC. I've never heard it anywhere else but on that show.

Incidentally, I thought it was illegal to use emergency-vehicle sounds on the radio--but I've heard them, too. And it sucks.

I think it's one of those things where the legality is patchy. That or maybe some places have an attitude of "gently caress no we aren't doing that." I've literally never heard that sort of thing here but the way some goons talk it's an epidemic in some areas.

We have our share of ambulance chasing lawyers and slimy used car salesmen but I guess none of them push hard enough for sirens. There are a lot of people that have the decency to realize that it's a terrible idea but I guess some areas are just full of lovely people who want attention at all costs.

I spent a couple hours one night trying to find clean versions of Diane’s ringtones to use as my own. No luck.

I guess it’s moot because I haven’t taken my phone off vibrate for probably a year now.

Anyway that’s my ringtone story.
