It's That Simple…Or Is it?

What the heck is up with advertising these days? I just saw a commercial for a local chain (Elder-Beerman) and the ad was for their "Virtually Everything on Sale" sale. What the? So they couldn't put everything on sale? Did they not have enough employees to mark every item down?

That commercial reminded me of this pic I snapped in Boston:


So how is it simple if you're adding exclusions? That's ridiculous. If you're going to have a "simple" sale, have it, don't half-ass it!

TBS debuting a new interstitial. As if the ads that pop up at the bottom of the screen aren't annoying enough, they go and fully interrupt the show you're watching! I hope this idea dies a quick death. Via Kottke.org.
