First a report that the book club has reached 29 books. I gave out a few certificates and beads today to good response. More tomorrow. I have a delusion that we can save the school district by reaching our 500 book goal by the and of the year, especially if we can spread it to the children.My survey concerns silly advertisement. Jan and I passed one of those air propelled waving figures on the way to Canton this morning(it looks like the apple throwing trees in the wizard of Oz. A little further down 62 is a fake police car and occasionally a man in a gorilla suit or a man in a chicken suit. My question is :" although we've all seen these attention getting gimmicks many times in many places, have any of you ever pulled in and bought something due to having seen them"? If so, what?

I always feel so bad for those who have to dress up in those ridiculous costumes. I have never known anyone to stop at those particular places and I hardly see anyone stop at them. I pass the one Bill mentioned on my drive home daily from Alliance. There are also 2 more on Cleveland Ave: the Slice of Pizza at Papa John's and a half inflatable cell phone at the an electronic toys store.
my main reason for the question is to try to figure out why; why disturb drivers and torment minimum wage workers for no effect? What's the advantage of getting attention if no sales are made? It's like the commercials that you can't remember what the product is.
Beal!
So glad you have joined the blog world! Keeping a blog is what got me through treatment! If you haven't already seen it, I will send you the link.
I think it is entertaining to watch people slow down when they pass that stupid fake police car on 62!
:)
That is a fake police car that I have been flashing this whole time????
Those are real boobs I've been watching from the fake police car?

Hi bears,
i recruited another member today (Megan Seavy). Like her parents, she's a voracious reader (36 reading ACT) and will certainly contribute to our goal of 500 books. Feel free to do likewise. If you have a friend or relative that you want to give an incentive to read, just tell them to contact me or start sending me titles and authors of books read. Certificates and beads will be issued to anyone participating.

I also go that way on 62 to go to and fro. I don't think that is a guy in a gorilla suit. I think it is mechical and can slowly turn side to side and wave. I would avoid going in there on purpose, at any rate, because I think that thing is scary. And even though I have seen the police car hundreds of times, it still catchse me off guard. Again, I'd avoid it because that is a mean trick to play o nthe drivers.
My question is why a gorilla? Are gorillas good judges of quality mattresses? Does he know a good deal when he sees one? Did he go to college and get his MMBA (Masters of Monkey Business Administration) What is so particularly trustworthy or enticing about a gorilla? The answer - Nothing! Now if it was a giant platypus I'd buy 2!
Shaun is right, why not a possum or a sleeping beauty. Intimidation doesn't seem to be a sleep incentive. I think the average teacher or teenager would be the best recommendation ambassador for a matress.
I agree that teachers would make an excellent ambassador of a matress. However, I feel students would make for poor matress ambassadors. Too many students fall asleept at their desks since they were up most of the night on the computer or phone and playing video games (to name a few of the excuses I hear in class). I don't see how a desk is even remotely comfortable enough to sleep at. Maybe I'm just like the princess in the story the princess and the pea -- I need to have a bed to sleep in that is comfortable in order to sleep.
