has been in several of them, advertising all kinds of things. People have hired this guy to advertise about 30 products (rough guess) and he usually does so rather well, coming up with slogans, little rhymes to get morons' attention, and showing good use of the product in ways the average joe probobly wouldn't think of. In other words, the man's pretty good at his job.
So, what am I ranting about? Well, like the courage the cowardly dog rant, this is one of praise, not near-pointless verbal bludgeoning. I applaud Billy for his ability to convince marketers that he can sell their product a hell of a lot better than they can and generally becoming the king of advertisors. I was going to comment on how the people trying to sell things are idiots for thinking they need Mr. Mays to sell their stuff, but in hindsight, they're probobly right. Thinking about it, I don't usually know exactly what people are trying to sell in commercials these days, being that I'm some odd brand of idiot that misreads advertisements. Mays's ads, however, are perfectly clear to me, I know what's being sold. The funny thing about all this is that I've not bought one of the things Billy sells, so as good at advertising as he is, he's not magic.
BOTTOM LINE: Billy mays: advertisor, not miracle worker, ok, marketer people?
That's this week's rant, I'm Varmeip, Goodnight.
