Like you said today in class professor, Toyota is past the point of remedial advertising and will be paying hefty fees for a long time. I, for one, wonder if there will be a Toyota left when this recall business is all said and done.Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133795668247912390.post-77396609470513345712010-02-23T11:03:10.080-08:002010-02-23T11:03:10.080-08:00I thought this was interesting because after class...I thought this was interesting because after class last week, a classmate and I spent over an hour on the Dunkin Donuts website designing our own prize winning donuts. After we finished submitting our donuts, we even showed our roommates and friends. I can imagine that this is the "thing advertisers dream about". I spent an hour on the website, I passed the word on to my friends, and by the end of the day I was craving donuts.Christine Montemurronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133795668247912390.post-74477093277677512352010-02-16T10:52:18.195-08:002010-02-16T10:52:18.195-08:00Professor Alperstein, you are so right, I just des...Professor Alperstein, you are so right, I just designed my own car and posted and linked the site to facebook for people to see. I think this is a great form of advertising and I'm not even a fan of Nascar racing, I honestly know nothing about the sport besides the fact that its people racing against eachother. I do know about the race jackets because at one point a lot of people in New York were wearing race jackets that had cartoon characters and other advertisements similarily to the racers who have all these brands being advertised on their clothing and especially on their cars. Therefore to be able to make a car and maybe even see it raced on the track is very exciting and a great way to get people involved. I actually enjoyed designing my car and can see myself soon having a garage filled with cars if I'm bored enough.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582223353451488029noreply@blogger.com
