Stouffers' Introduces Radical New Ad Campaign, Raises Eyebrows.

In a move to intended to "match the cutting edge nature of Stouffer's products" Stouffer exec's released the above banner. Instead of the usual "click here" banner they utilize reverse pyschology by adding a script style "don't" in front. Gen X'ers no doubt jaded by the saturation of banner adds will be intrigued and forced to do the opposite and click to find out more about frozen microwavable sandwich treats.

Marketing Director, Dick Jerkface is laughing all the way to the bank. "In the past our advertising wasn't connecting with young people. People weren't clicking where we would like. This way the kids can feel they aren't doing what we want and still provide them with up to date information on presertive laden instant food products. It's pure genius."

The linked site includes a newsletter designed to keep you current on the latest 20 cent coupons. Plus wacky games and a social networking aspect. People can stay connected, interact with other processed consummible fans and access a "Stouff' Yer Face" section where users are able to post pictures of themselves eating Stouffer's.

Political Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them.


The Obama campaign said Monday night that the solicitation does not constitute a raffle. "We are not conducting a raffle of any kind," said Nick Kimball, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in Minnesota.

The Obama website, which is soliciting funds of up to $2,300, says anyone who makes a contribution to the Obama campaign of $5 or more between now and July 31 "could be one of 10 supporters chosen to meet Barack backstage" in Denver.

It further says that the 10 selected supporters can bring a guest and will be flown to Denver to spend two days at the Democratic Party national convention, including hearing Obama's speech on Aug. 28...

...He said three elements make a drawing a form of gambling under state law: if it costs money to participate, if it involves "the luck of the draw" in which no skill is involved and if one wins something of value.


Although one commenter made a valid point - that the chance to attend the August 28 speech could be considered a prize of no value.

Remember kids.... vote or Diddy will kill you.
