In Which I Discuss Why Annoying Ads Suck

I have the jingle for Closet World stuck in my head. Which really sucks because the words to it is the phone number, and we all know I can't remember a sequence of numbers to save my life... So I just mumble random numbers each time.

I take back my not-being-able-to-remember-any-number-sequence statement. My seventh grade P.E. Locker combination, which I shared with my best friend Stephanie Lovett, was 35-21-11. Because I usually sang about what I was doing at the moment back then, I inevitably came up with a tune for 35-21-11, and sang it every time I opened it. Granted, so did everyone else around us in the locker room, but it was forever solidified into my brain!

Back to Closet World. See, this is the thing I have about marketing. I get that companies go to extreme lengths to make (hopefully) catchy, or weird/annoying ads, because you remember them. And if you remember them, then you're thinking about their company, and they win. But that's the thing, marketing people: if you have an incredibly annoying commercial or ad, I will remember it. And I will deliberately remember NOT to buy your product, just because your marketing is so terrible. So, there's that.

And those are my pressing thoughts for tonight.
