I'm torn on these History Channel ads. On one hand, they draw attention and bring the tagline, "Watch history come to life.", well, to life. On the other hand, they are bordering the delivery of misinformation. I think maybe if the headlines were more easily recognizable as past events, not current, then the ads would be a little safer and maybe better.via

ReplyDeleteI think that is the point. To be slightly confused with current day events. It creates a shock moment for the viewer then you are reassured by the accompanying ad,"oh, its for the history channel"
Safer dangerous word in advertising
