You hear that, ad people?

No. Mostly, they don’t.

Correction – I like ads if they are useful to me.

You hear that, ad people?

‘Round here, living in the Boston-New York-Philly-D.C. megalopolis, I already seem to use AdBlock Plus for my brain—I think it came installed.

Folks visit from more rural areas and get whiplash (and choice-overload). Me, I see nothing.

Hmm, I think I need to make that trip to Delaware *now*

Speaking of ads on the net, have you tried Adblock Plus (or are you running Safari on your Mac)? No ads for me, usually!

I tell you, when the cybernetic implants start arriving, I want Adblock Plus for my BRAIN.

Oh, and lasers in my eyes. That would be cool.

Agree with you 100 percent – that store looks terrible.

Well, shucks, they’re not brilliant like yours… *humble grin*

But yeah. No artistry needed to capture the photos for this lesson in MCE. Thanks!

Oriental-rug-desires or no, we have no sales tax here in Delaware, and this place is on one of the main shopping drags, drawing in people from several states just to save their 8%. Folks here can sell anything if they know how. This just is not how!

Even if these are the best darned rugs around, from the peeling paint to the screaming signage, the perception is exactly as you say. Cheap. Most folks won’t be motivated to go past their perception to see if what’s inside is worth knowing about, and might not trust the quality even if they did finally wander in.

After a while it’s like ads on the ‘net, too: I’d become blind to the ugly place until the new signs went up.

Ack.

Until later,

Todd Smith’s last blog post…Preliminary image selection for next year’s calendar

But seriously, this reminds me of the Microsoft “Laptop Hunters” ads… hey, if you like Windows, that’s okay, but when you buy a cheap computer, well, you get a cheap computer…

Reasonable rants rarely refused.

Relished, really.
