Culture warp
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005
Blogs cover every angle and orifice of American culture, so it is fitting that blog advertisers should exhuberantly reach for the same highs and lows, occasionally spotlighting the best slots sites not on gamstop to draw in dedicated gamers alongside casual readers.
Yesterday, I blogged about the blogad for academic theorist Camille Paglia’s poetry book.
Today, we’ve got Ginger and Maryanne thrashing each other in a Gilligan’s Island reality TV show pie-fight, courtesy of Turner Broadcasting (one of the first advertisers to push the envelope, with last year’s much-discussed Sex and the City blogad.)
Also today, covering another essential and under-covered angle of American culture, we’ve got a ticklish CareerBuilder ad featuring the Idiot Boss.
