I keep reading that television advertising is dead.

But is it?

Try this little exercise:

At any random moment, without being aware of the specific time of day, walk into a room with a television and turn it on.

What’ll be showing?

A freaking commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No news. No sitcom. No cop show.

It’ll be a bloody ad, I guarantee it.

And most likely a crappy one at that.

No, television advertising isn’t dead.

Undead, perhaps, but definitely not dead.

I wonder what’s on YouTube.
