Several years ago I watched a program on TV about advertising methods. It is a fact that the more annoying an ad is, the more likely it is to get stuck in your head. That is the reason we see so many annoying ads. The Sprint Auto Parts jingle as as annoying as it comes, but we have just proven on this thread alone that it works because people are talking about it.
As for the mops, surely it is embarrassing for Sprint Auto Parts to see their advertising sign on a faulty mop. Its unprofessional for them and they should be funding new mops.
Hems - did you fail reading comprehension at school, or are you just a moron? I'm talking about the jingle, it's annoying that every time the wipers come out that it has to be played. I'm well aware of the point of advertising...my point is the kids have Sprint Auto Parts tshirts on and the mop has a big Sprint Auto Parts sign on it - so it's not like the Sprint brand isn't visible enough. Even if it were played once at the start of the game, the same way they announce the player sponsors, that would be fine. Every floor mopping is just excessive.
At the game the other night, two people I was with started singing along to the Sprint Auto Parts jingle. Fair to say that is advertising money well spent I think!
