Recycling TV Ads

Posted by michael on from the reduce-reuse-recycle dept.

Makarand writes "According to this article in the Denver Post a young entrepreneur has gotten into the business of recycling junked TV commercials for clients with low budgets. TV ads cost anywhere between $50,000 and $1 million and small businesses usually cannot afford an original production. The company, Thought Equity, wipes off all references to the earlier company and makes the junked commerical ready for reselling with a price tag less than $10,000. Also businesses that want their ads on the air as soon as possible are approaching the company seeking recycled ads because producing original ads takes time."

    Where is the GNAA? Have they disbanded? There must still be homosexual African-Americans out there that need support... so where have they gone?

    Their what is almost Slashdotted? You mean they're, as in they are? Do youself a favor and don't pull words together like that in the future. Write "they are" instead of "they're", "do not" instead of "don't", and so on.

    Note to mods: I am not writing this to be an ass, but even people with English as their first language can't get this right. There's no harm in pointing out to people when they make mistakes like these. I mean, it is possible to put a little thought and effort into a comment before submitting it, right?

    Our Subway ads in Australia have the same old yank talking. Their advertising pitch also says how many pounds some fat prick lost..... we use metric buddy, NFI what a pound is.

    What do you expect from a country made up of the descendants of criminals. Civilized people still measure weight (outside of the laboratory) in pounds.
