I'm A Sucka

The new Maxim came today, and as I began my ritual of tearing out all the subscription cards and other page-flipping impediments I came across an "interactive ad" that required me to tear a zipper strip to reveal the contents...

I am now wearing a cardboard Burger King crown.

Why am I so enthralled by creative advertising? It's barely been 48 hours since I last wrote about it, now I'm reliving memories from age 7.

Speaking of things that came out today, Happy Beaujolais Nouveau! I tried to find some at the Raley's on the way home, but the guy there kept trying to tell me that it was a Beringer "Holiday Wine" and he always has a hard time selling it.

Anyways, this gripping headline pretty much sums it up.

• Another creative andertising item - in last week's Entertainment Weekly they had a CD with the first episode of "House" a new show on Fox. It advertised to watch the first show, then pass the CD onto a friend. I liked it (enough to borrow/steal the magazine from the gym!)
