Would you buy something from this guy? If I were in the market for what he was selling, I just might, if only because he's original enough to be honest.
It's kind of a frightening thought, though - the idea that honesty could be an advertising breakthrough. I can just imagine the brainstorming session now:
Joe: "What with tight money and a downturned economy, the consumer just isn't responding to our usual advertising practices any more."
John: "Yeah, we need something fresh and new to appeal to the jaded consumer."
Joe: "I've got it!!! Let's be honest."
John: "It might just work. It's worth a try."
