Ask.com's "The Alogrithm" ad campaign helps people get skinny
Ask.com has this "Algorithm" campaign going on, and honestly, who cares about algorithms? Yaaawn! No one, well okay, geeks insulated from the real world. So to make things more interesting, I created a banner that would really get people looking. Nothing gets eyeballs more than promises of getting skinny and getting rich.
If an algorithm can make you skinny, then droves of people are going to come to you to find out how many calories they can eat, what the carb consumption is, and how fast they can get into Jessica Alba shape for summer vacation. Of course, it will disappointing to find out that Ask.com is just selling us on using their search engine but if you're going to be provocative at least do something that is interesting so I can blog about how you are perpetuating the too-skinny message like the fashion industry.
