Never underestimate human greed. It gets worse every year. Consider tv, where there used to be 10 minutes of commercials per hour...today, 24 minutes. Take a look at Time Square from the 70s to today. Last time I was there, it was a disgusting display of billboards. Vegas...every hotel billboards their...well hotel. We got it, Donnie and Marie are still running their shitty show.
The funniest part is with cable. Ads have increase, price for cable has gone up a bit...yet people still subscribe. I guess the question is...why not advertise more? People are dumb enough to support the service. This has been spoken in a boardroom somewhere.
24 hour fitness is the biggest one for the in house club promotion. Putting tacky "bring a friend" flyers on the pec dec, etc. creepy.
