I LOVE it. Someone gets it. There's two types of attention. Positive and negative. I could come up to you and tell you a joke, and make you smile. And for that, I'd receive positive attention. Or, I could just throw a brick through the windshield of your car. I'd also be getting your attention, but it would be of the negative variety.


You see this in advertisement all the time. Geico insurance puts out some of the funniest commercials I've ever seen, and I actually look forward to seeing them. (It gets my attention) But their is another marketing strategy where they go in the other direction.

There are some commercials that are so fucking obnoxious, that I have to either mute the sound or change the channel. But the thing is, they must work on some type of people.


I like reading stories on political news sites. But it's not all that easy. This fucking thing is sliding down from the top, and that fucking thing is sliding over from the right.......and this pop up from the bottom..It's like playing whack a mole. I wouldn't buy any of their ...... they're selling, just because of the way they presented it to me.
