10 Terrible Tech Ads

As for the "Hand of God Phone" comment on the iPhone commercials, I really never saw it as the Hand of God but I guess that's one way to look at it. I'm not a fan of commercials, I usually fast forward through them but I think Tom misses the reason why some of these commercials are so repetitive. I heard someone use the phrase United States of Amnesia and I think it's true (see I can't remember where I heard it from) we have a really bad history of not remembering so companies do what's called "Front of Mind". It means repeating something over and over so it stays in the front of our mind. For example Coke is a world recognized symbol and product, but they still spend millions on advertising because they want to keep their product in the Front of our Mind. Any company that has the money will spend millions to stay in the Front of our Mind. It will be interesting to see what will happen with the recent lowering of gas prices, will we forget the high prices of a few months ago and return to buying inefficient vehicles or will we finally wise up? As for the iPhone commercials this is one of the few I don't fast forward through. Since I don't have a lot of time to search through the App Store or read updates online, I often learn of some new app or function I didn't know about before that I can use on my iPhone.

Let's not give any publicity or attention to freecreditreport.com unless it's to point out that they are an outright scam site that should be shut down. There are no free credit reports there and many people get charged by them without intending to pay anything. Scum like that should be jailed.
