People seem to think there's all sorts of conspiracies afoot within the ad industry - we're out to subliminally make you 'obey' and we spend our days airbrushing the word 'sex' into the ice cubes of the product shot. Sadly, it's not half that exciting!

I was just funnin with that stuff. I don't think the proverbial "they" or "them" have to even bother with subliminal shit. Just put an add on the air and blatantly tell someone their life will suck if they don't buy it, and the sound of the lemming heard is deafening.

And yes, I've been a lemming. But at least I'm a self aware lemming, and I fight the cliff rushing urge as much as possible.

Heck maybe you could do an add that says "with out tiki, your life will suck". Put up a picture of said tiki offered at three easy payments of 19.95, and sit back and watch the cash fill the bank account.
(I have to use the edit feature and point out that the above is in no way an attack on tikifish. It's just merely my taking a point to an extreme example for illustrations sake. Using "tiki" as a product we all understand. Thats alll, nothing else.)

I sure do hope target comes out with more tiki stuff this year.

And I wish Chrysler would come out with a hybrid PT Cruiser.
