Advertising has evolved in my lifetime, and yours, and we may not be as aware of it as we could be. At one point, there were TV commercials for Preparation H that had a white male seated at what looked like a library table talking in terms so nebulous I grew up thinking hemorrhoids had something to do with book bindings.
Today every product that's worth its weight on the NASDAQ has a celebrity spokesperson, none more prominently or frequently, than automobiles. Until I came across this, I hadn't appreciated just how pervasive the celebrity celebration of auto-erotica actually is.
One small step for man. One obscenely large paycheck for someone who doesn't really need the money. Somewhere the Ghost of Ted Kennedy sighs.
