Connecting in a Crazy World

I promise - this will be short, I think... I just want to give props to Walgreens for making me laugh and connecting with me in one of their ads --- I only saw it run for about a week, but it's an ad for digital photo processing -- of a group of people standing in various costumes/event oriented outfits - a new person pops in and then they hear a noise and realize someone is going to be deleted... I could totally relate as earlier that day I was deleting photos from my camera (which still has about 425 photos be downloaded) so I could take more pictures...

The ad made me laugh - as it was my life and also was nice to know that I'm not the only one to lazy to download my photos (I mean -- it takes like 3 minutes!).

And while they didn't get a sale from me out of their commercial - they did accomplish a few (of what I imagine to be their) goals - before this ad I didn't realize they offered this service - and if I'm in a situation where I want to print some photos right away (instead of using the online service I currently use) I just might remember this ad and stop by their store.

You'll hear of more ad's I approve of in the future -- are there any that really speak to you?
