Ok, so, I've been living in the UK for 3 weeks now, and I have to say this article in the NYTimes http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/14/arts/television/14sfculture.html is sort of stupid. To summarize, it basically states that the ad industry in the UK is more edgy and artsy than in the US. Uhm....no, don't think so. I haven't been spending too much time watching TV, but let me say that the ads I have caught are rip offs of the Geico auto insurance commercials, sex selling cereal , and these really creepy ads on bus stops to scare teenagers from driving drunk. These 5 foot tall posters all feature a person dead (yes...dead) on the ground, or in a vehicle, with their friend holding them crying out...or just looking shocked and not really intoxicated. That is pretty damn edgy...
