That sounds rather odd as I have googled multiple firearms for sale just yesterday and got plenty of results. Also, google crosshoping 9mm ammo 2 days ago.

There are two things I can guarantee literally no-one is interested in, either now or ever in history, and you've managed to talk about both of them; Your opinion and your penis.

Those XFL videos probably cost about $100 total to produce, and they generate some buzz at the expense of their infinitely larger and more successful competition - pointing out foibles of the NFL product that uniformly piss people off. The league won't be off the ground for a couple years yet, so people who don't care will have forgotten the silly ads by then. Low risk, high reward.
This is the Dumb Marketing thread, you know those cost tens of thousands each.

Didn't one of the major razor companies once market a razor for women by turning it into a vibrator and charging like a dollar or two more?
Gillette made them for men and women, and lost a big lawsuit because their claims that it raised the hair up for a cleaner shave were bogus.

I saw a Youtube ad a few weeks ago for a group that ran a right-wing news/educational channel that I can't remember the name of any more. The ad was about how Youtube was attacking them by flagging their videos as inappropriate for minors, when their videos were in fact harmless and educational. The ad was trying to stir up people to take action against Youtube censorship.

Completely ignoring whether or not their statements were in fact bullshit and ignoring any of the political issues they want to talk about, spending money producing and running a Youtube ad to protest Youtube censoring them is... a decision.

Does YouTube decide what ads are shown or is even that automated? Because because YouTube running ads attacking YouTube doesn't seem like it's in their best interest.

On a related note, Prager U, a conservative think tank, likes to advertise on my account. I think it's because I occasionally watch videos making fun of the Alt Right.

Its interesting because I've watched videos discussing what a whiny idiot twerp James Damore is and right in the middle of it i get an ad featuring James Damore complaining over how unjust his firing was.

Oh yeah the thing was an ad from Prager U. I don't watch videos making fun of the alt right so I think they just have a ton of money to spend on advertising.

I asked a friend of mine who's in advertising (after telling him he should probably think about burning his office down and living as a hermit) if the ad agencies responsible for things like this know what they're putting together on the one reel. He said "absolutely and I can guarantee you someone did that deliberately. We get contracts to put (x) number of each ad out in (y) area that has (z) passing traffic each day, and the actual sorting of it is pretty much up to however rolls it out."

Unless you asked they wouldnt tell you, and since Ive not seen evidence of it being a campaign planned effort this seems lucky chance at this location. If youre too far out they may be prohibited from telling you anything more than “its not a competitor” or “its in a QSR vertical”

Besides thats a JCDecaux board and usually theyre as put together as a 600 pound persons life

About five years ago, there was a small British/Irish crime movie called A Belfast Story, which starred Colm Meaney as a detective trying to unravel a web of murder and intrigue during the Troubles. I have not seen it; I have heard it is not very good.

But what brilliant tie-in did the film-makers come up with to promote this movie?

A "nail-bomb kit". :cripes:

That's hardly dumb marketing, that girl says she was told to flush the hamster, which was bullshit. The girl who had the hamster decided what to do with it, it's not on the airline.
