I was watching the Card - Mets game on Saturday.
As usual, some clown was in the second row talking on a cell phone and waving to the camera. You could tell that the person he was talking to was telling him that they saw him on TV. After a while, I began to feel sorry for the guy. Then I thought about how many commercials are in the same mode. Here is what I mean:
1. They just want people to see them. They are willing to jump up and down, wave, or whatever it takes to be seen or heard.
2. There is nothing communicated. You can't tell me that much was going on in that conversation except - what do you see now? Can you see me? Look I'm waving.
3. It is more annoying than anything else.
So this week, check out your commercials and see if they have more in common with the guy on the cell phone. Hopefully they don't.
