so heather's back! you know her from her couple of posts here a couple of weeks ago and of course her own site www.unlikelyoilfieldwife.com. today we learn of things that can only happen when you watch local television because the networks are too busy making crappy television to make foolish mistakes…

So today husband and I saw an ad on
television that just, simply put, left me perplexed. It was for our
local cable company, COX. The point of the ad is to tell local
businesses that they can advertise on specifically Latino channels. I
get that completely. But in the background of the ad are pictures of
Mexican wrestlers and mariachi bands, which I thought was a little in
poor taste, but whatever. Then I saw this.
Why on earth is Fidel Castro in the
background? Is that really what represents the Latino community,
especially here in southern Louisiana? Who was in charge of this ad,
and is this really the company I want doing advertising for me? What
was the meeting like? “Yeah, you, intern, just google 'latino' and
use whatever comes up on the first page.” Are we going to start
using Kim Jong Ill in ads geared toward Korean businesses? Or maybe
Hitler in German ones. Maybe it was supposed to be subliminal
messaging. More likely, it's just some stupid, lazy person in the
marketing department at our local COX office. Poor lady in the ad,
now she looks like a fool.
