So today I was thinking of some marketing ideas for the station. One of our AE’s has PartyPoker.com, but their ads are only allowed to run after 1000p on the Fox and UPN stations in San Diego. This is not a Fox or UPN policy, it’s a station policy. Well, I said I thought that policy was stupid. Why should the station run ads for carbonated sugar water, and fa(s)t-food and not run ads for online poker.
In America, coronary heart dieses are the number one killer and Diabetes is a huge and growing problem. Both problems are more important than some compulsive gamblers. In addition, these ads are not limited to the late hours of 1000p, they run in cartoons and after school times. Why, because they are targeting kids. That’s what they do; they are going after the very people who don’t need soda and fast food. This is one of the reasons today�s Americans are so overweight and dying at earlier ages.
In other pissed-me-off news, the Super Bowl is this weekend, and CBS is not allowing certain people to advertise during the game. Bullshit. What’s worse, the excuses they use. Here’s a pretty good article about it.
So what are you saying that you have coronary heart diease, diabetes and you are a compulsive gambler?
