"Paradigm Shift" or "Subliminal Seduction"?

12/1/2011

Having a recent unpleasant experience with QVC and a product I needed to return (snow boots of all things), I have a bitter taste in my mouth about advertising, especially "subliminal advertising" (the small print).  I think QVC should have a "paradigm shift" in the way they handle their returns.

"Don't tell my mother I work in an advertising agency - she thinks I play piano in a whorehouse."  ~Jacques Seguela
It's pretty bad if you'd rather have your mother think you're musically pleasing whores than seducing consumers with advertising.  ~nr lenz

"The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."  ~Marcel Proust
Hmmm ... whores and music or advertising, deceit, and seduction?  I think both would require a "paradigm shift".  I love that word - paradigm ... ~nr lenz

We do not really see ourselves. All mirrors are in fact quite useless except the living, human mirrors who reflect us: They do not lie.  ~Francois Mauriac
One of my favorite questions, "What mirror you lookin' in? *smile*  ~nr lenz

Two men were walking down a busy city street. "Listen," exclaimed one. "What a lovely sound of a cricket." The other looked at him in puzzlement. "How can you hear a cricket amid this din?" he asked. The first man replied, "I’m a zoologist." He took a coin from his pocket and dropped it on the crowed sidewalk. Immediately, the people around stopped and began to look down. "We hear what we listen for," he explained.  ~John Lubbock

"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."  ~Mark Twain
