Here’s something I saw on the sidebar of my Google Mail. The top line isn’t a link — I just made it look like one, to show it to you as it appeared to me.

I think the main message of this ad is “do not buy a Zune.”
For the most part, I absolutely despise advertising. I hate it.
Okay. But, let’s say it was an old ad painted on a building.
Keep talking…
Let’s say it was an ad in disrepair, where the paint was peeling, and in its dilapidated state it somehow conveyed an improbably-pleasing aesthetic.
Hmmmm… I’m listening…
And how about the ad is for a product that, despite being heavily marketed at the time, died a sad, uneventful death, so much so that most people who glance at this ad today have no clue what the product’s purpose was?
I am so there!!!!
A Like Cola ad seen on a building on the north side of Ogden Avenue, on the western edge of Brookfield near the cross street of East Avenue.
