Another dippy, totally unnecessary, who cares? poll.
A Reuters-Ipso poll taken this month found that fictitious television presidents were viewed more favorably than President Obama. That sounds to me like an idiotic poll. The American tv viewer has nothing invested in Dennis Haysbert, and is greatly dependent on President Obama, so naturally their feelings, pro or con, are going to be stronger. What moron decides to take a poll like this, and why? And what does it mean? Should Obama start emulating the decisions and mannerisms of Josiah Bartlet from the West Wing or David Palmer from 24? Or would those polled prefer a darker, scarier president like Frank Underwood from House of Cards? What is the next moronic poll from Reuters-Ipso? To see if children prefer fictional teachers to those in real life who make them do homework?
I am a retired copywriter. For 40 years I wrote for major agencies and developed some campaigns you would know. Like most writers, I love to give my opinion, and since I am so familiar with advertising this is the area I chose to comment on.
Actually I'm not that cranky. I am as fond
of as many things as I detest. But since most people only hear what one doesn't like, I might as well go with cranky.For my other blog idleideasfactory I am putting out there things I have written and ideas for books, screenplays, stage plays, and even products that I will not have time in life to follow through on. If
anyone can profit from them, be my guest.
