Dog Food

A trite old story came to mind after watching debate clips from last night.

--The CEO and assorted bigwigs from a large Dog Food Company went to visit their advertising/marketing research agency for a meeting.

The CEO: "We've spent millions on TV ads, print ads, and digital ads promoting our new dog food line!
We've done everything we can and spent everything we can! But we're still not selling any dog food!
What has gone wrong here??

The head of the advertising/marketing research agency: "The dogs don't like it."

Here's hoping that after last night Bloomie is the dog food.

primary today, I would vote for:

Setting aside last night's performance, Bloomberg has been skyrocketing in the polls. I would argue that all the advertising in the world won't generate that gain if the candidate isn't seen as worth supporting.

primary today, I would vote for:

as I mentioned, it's my hope that after last night the dogs will look past the glitzy expensive ads and realize how distasteful and unelectable that Bloomie brand really is!
