New banner ad with The Godfather. How come no one is getting upset at that one? Is WW now saying that once you become part of the family you cant leave? Or are they saying, don’t mess with them or they will crush their competition? Interesting..... I guess I am just glad that I am happy with my WW's and don’t really have to worry about switching sides.
(still appears that they aren't paying anyone for their ads.) No offense, WW!

i thought they were saying join the family.

and then trying to make some sort of racist jibe at all the italian amercians out there, by saying they are all criminals, but that was just my reading...









in reality what they are doing is making a very interesting set of none product adverts, the adverts are a talking point in themselves and carry no message other than the brand name, this gets everyone talking about the brand but not about product. once the talk about the brand reaches a suitable level of frenzy they will release the new product to fill that aching void....

very skillfully, and subtley done...

some less skillfull marketeers, could learn something here. :wink:
