Almost nothing is manufactured in the US anymore.<BR/><BR/>Although hating Mattel is fine with me.<BR/><BR/>* * * *<BR/><BR/>Tim, I do appreciate creative advertising. The best ads display a huge amount of talent. If only those were the only ads we saw...! We'd have about 90% less advertising in the world.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-16505660843286910262007-09-06T10:37:00.000-07:002007-09-06T10:37:00.000-07:00The worst (or best) example of branding I've ever ...The worst (or best) example of branding I've ever heard is Mattel.

Everything is branded, however I thought those particular ads are worthy of gracing our world since they're cool.<BR/><BR/>90% of ads are just blatant shit with no creativity, I'm a fan of ads like the ones in that link.
