YOU WRECKED MY REVEAL!: The plugs have been going on all week: "We can't tell you why, but Jerry Seinfeld returns to NBC Thursday!" Apparently, the online listings services can tell us why now...all that homecoming hype was over another one of those ten minute Seinfeld and Superman ads for American Express. They're entertaining and everything, but consider this: they've just run a set of teaser ads for the world premiere of ANOTHER AD. At least when the wizards of ads (*) did that for Madonna's two minute Pepsi plug, they were honest with us.
They're just damn lucky the first one was entertaining, or I'd start bitching about an commercial that was so long it shows up in the listings.
(* Footnote: I consider "wizard of ads" only a slightly less flaky position than "the Wizard of Id". Very fine edge there.)
