Tapping into my market

It always amazes me when there's advertising that I truly feel is directed at me. I am a weirdo and one of the things about being weird, is that most other people aren't. Advertising isn't an inexpensive eneavour, so when there's an ad that appears to have tapped into the sick, twisted and absurd mass that is my brain I'm impressed.

For example, I've been in love with the flash animations at rathergood.com for awhile now. These dancing animals have brought much joy into my life and into the lives of countless others. Last night I was happily watching TV with M and a commercial for my very favourite sub chain comes on. And lo and behold, it's done in the style of rathergood. Go Quiznos (Ads can be found under "Check out our new television commericals."

Now the ads really freaked M out, but I was simply overjoyed. Now M is, well, not as insane as I am so this could be a huge gamble on the part of Quiznos, choosing to appeal to people with a truly demented sense of humour. But I embrace it. Go freaky creatures!
