Re: Pentax Ad Copy FAIL
Guerilla Marketing is quite effective way to get attraction by using the power of internet and the thousands of 'fun blogs' and 'fun picture sites' or YouTube (remember the old, a bit offensive and racist VW Polo ad -see link below- that of course wasn't made by Volkswagen? Or was it? :D) Regards, .timber ps.: the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arfNofxBtfY P. J. Alling wrote: Who says this wasn't? And it'll probably attract more notice that a correct ad would have.

John Well, camera or not, I'm pretty much always ready. In fact, I'm often told I'm full of it - something I can hardly disagree with. As for the ad iteself, personally I think it's brilliant, and I'd like to see Canikon top that one!! ;-) cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Pentax Ad Copy FAIL
The typo is funny, but the rest of the copy is just horrible. 10 megapixels in a metal exterior ?? And of course a dangling participle, which isn't always that bad, but this one dangles wy out there.
