Some very sad advertising

Over the years, advertisers have tried nearly everything to make consumers buy their pile of crap. From catch-phrases and celebrity endorsements to the time-honored psychological techniques of punishment and reward, advertisers will do anything to get your soul (read:money).

I stumbled across a few very good and weird examples of this. The first is from the popular Rice Krispies ads, which used Snap, Crackle, Pop to sell their sugary yumminess. This is a rocked-out version of the Snap,Crackle, Pop theme. Very sad.

From the "Sell Your Soul" department of advertising come these jazzy ads for the United States Air Force. The first is a rocked-out jingle to promote the excitement that is the AF. The second is from...well, I'll let you listen and find out. Oh, Lorne, what were you thinking?

Ah! Propaganda was alive and well in the late 1970s.

Oh..oh god.
That's about all I can say to that "Galactica" one. That's just so wrong.
