Isn't that the same tactic late night TV ads use to dupe grandparents into buying gold coins "in the next ten minutes. STRICT limit of 5 per caller."? It frustrates me that with all of the social data that Facebook has and all of the targeting capabilities, the best they've managed to sell are lowest common denominator ads, which just teach people to ignore that ad space all together and reduce the effectiveness of Facebook ads in general. It just doesn't make any sense. .-= Cory O'Brien´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheFutureOfAds/~3/2rggk5edo58/gowalla-and-incase-team-up-for-location-based-sponsorship" rel="nofollow">Gowalla and Incase Team Up For Location-Based Sponsorship</a> =-.

Not only are they lazy, a lot of them are borderline illegal. I got one today that said "Rachel Ray: 33... Today if you are 33 and female you can get a FRree $250 Rachel Ray gift card (participation required). Offer expires (4) minutes." I'm guessing Rachael Ray didn't approve the use of her image or sign off on the misspelling of her name. As the biggest, baddest social media site out there, you'd think Facebook could sell ad space to more legit businesses. .-= Marketing Mommy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MarketingMommy/~3/-RKT2NS32vo/no-more-snacks.html" rel="nofollow">No more snacks!</a> =-.
