Deep Thought Provoking Questions from the DailySkew Year One eBook: Problems with TV Commercials

Here are some deep thought provoking questions from the DailySkew Year One eBook:

- While reading "Problems with TV Commercials" (DailySkew Year One, page 4), this question occurred to me: Why (tm) don't we ever learn? I'm reading about Lily Pharmaceuticals "Bipolar" ad, and it reminds me of the Pristiq ads that were running this year during the World Series.

Is it simply a matter that, every year, there's a new batch of 18 to 24 year olds who have not learned from their elders about the concept of Caveat Emptor (Let the buyer beware)?

- We're taught to never judge a book by it's cover, and yet we, as TV viewers, have been expected to judge a new TV series by a 30-second commercial. In the case of the ill-fated John Doe series from Fox, it was judged poorly. Who greenlighted that show and ad campaign back then?

I wonder if Fox and the old major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) are using the Internet to create viral buzz about their shows, the way cable networks are doing. If not, when?
