Taco Bell Rings McDonalds' Breakfast Bell

This week’s edition is an ad from Taco Bell that has been getting a lot of press recently:



But did you happen to see the fine print:





How you do get a bunch of random people who happen to have the same name together to eat Taco Bell? Pay them of course. Who wouldn't say you love a Sausage AM Crunchwrap with 710 calories and 46 grams of fat if you gave them a pile of cash? While paid endorsements and actors playing “doctors” is nothing new, this clever one certainly created a lot of buzz online and in the marketplace.

Nissan Goes Rouge in New Ad

The latest edition from Nissan has been airing non-stop recently:


Here are the two main fine prints:





The fine print is so large and lasts so long that it is fairly noticeable and takes away from what the car is actually doing. Of course what the car is actually doing would be ridiculous even for a James Bond movie. There are also two smaller fine prints, bringing the total fine print airtime to 20 seconds in the 30 second commercial. Instead of spending money on airing a commercial every 15 minutes with an impossible stunt littered with fine prints, why couldn’t Nissan just tell you want the car actually does?
