Etch A Sketch Launches New Ad Campaign

[kpete]

The maker of Etch a Sketch on Thursday launched a new ad campaign, taking advantage of the political conversation centering around the classic toys. "Etch a Sketch is proud to be part of the national conversation," the ads read. A top Romney adviser recently said the general election is like an "Etch a Sketch," after the primary race is done the campaign can reset its priorities.

1. I think that's cute. Good on them for taking advantage...

and in a way that still keeps them "apolitical"...

2. It's also smart

Hormel never got out in front of the SPAM brand being re-defined in another context.

By the time they got around to saying, "Hey, that's us", it had already become a generic term for unsolicited commercial email.

Classier and smarter than I would have thought possible, to turn that negative association positive without picking a side.

9. LMAO!! I like Colbert's take the other day:

10. Hope they consider re-opening their manufacturing plant

back here in the good old USA. That would be a big boost to the Ohio economy methinks.
