The strategy is off base, the casting and acting are crap, and the dialogue is artificial and forced. Are investors in the market so lost today that they need a broker to […]

Bad advertising is advertising that fails to move people. Putrid advertising is advertising that fails to move people while offending people. Brother clearly falls into this latter category of repulsive marketers. For starters, you don’t cast the black guy as the office loafer.
