Nope. What we need is
good advertising.
Ad/Marketing people seem to have completely lost the plot.
Eye catching ads. Inspiring ads. Ads that make you curious. Challenging ads.
The Smash Potato Robots for fun. The 'Shake 'n Vac' to put the freshness back. The Hovis loaf for the sentimental. And even that ghastly (but unique) Frog.
Advertising with real eye catching creative talent that accurately reflects and understands the aspirations of the audience.
That's what we need.
Targeted advertising is for the talentless idiots who can't
create their own market. We're better than that

EU's Online Privacy Hearing Follows Senate's Next Week
U.S. lawmakers are not the only ones who are concerned about whether online advertising violates people's privacy. Regulators in Europe are also turning their attention to the issue.
In the latest development, the European Commission, which is tasked with enforcing Europe's broad privacy protection law, has scheduled a hearing in London for next Friday. That meeting will take place two days after a U.S. Senate subcommittee is slated to explore online advertising and privacy.
Anyone in a position to leaflet outside that meeting next Friday?

Attending
Meglena Kuneva EU Commisioner
"I want to make sure that people everywhere can enjoy the same high levels of protection, through proper law enforcement. I want consumer organisations in the Member States to have adequate resources, and I intend to tackle those people wishing to cheat and defraud consumers, through good cooperation between national authorities."
I feel another batch of letters flying out.
