More ADVERTISING

If you thought the ads over urinals were the last frontier of advertising, you are wrong. And don't forget to wash your hands.

I find this hard to believe, but there it was, in the parking lot of Home Depot: Advertising on the stripes that delineate parking spaces! MAYTAG MAYTAG MAYTAG.

Long ago I thought they should experiment in Minnesota, where they cut grooves in to the roads for better traction, to see if they couldn't engrave advertising or warnings like phonograph records. If you went the right speed, your tires would act as a stylus and "play" the road. SLOW CURVE AHEAD. Or better - COCA COLA!!! Or STOP AT MCDONALDS - NEXT EXIT.

I've already blogged about selling advertising on the dollar bill.

It's everywhere. See the blog below. We may be more programmed than we suspect!
