If you want to blame anyone for these adverts, blame the people that buy it. Further more many of these adverts are the result of extensive consumer surveys. Have you not ever attended a customer research group where you are paid in cash for you opinions? All the big companies before proceeding with product ideas or advertising, pitch them at these survey before doing anything, and you get bet your last dime that the manufacturers of Special K did exactly the same thing before creating the adverts you so despise.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure if the image of someone eating Special K in a hospital bed on breathing equipment sold this product, then I suspect the advertising would be very different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
