Last month I made fun of a banner ad for NESN’s “Spring Break Live” starring Peter Gammons. How a sixty-five year old white guy in a suit doesn’t sell “Spring Break” (see Spring Break Live).
Over the weekend I saw this ad, and, while probably for a different program (no “Live”, no Gammons) it’s at least a little more like Spring Break:
At least they don’t have Tom Caron’s ugly mug in there …
Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of Spring Break, and I love me some baseball. Shoot, I even love Peter Gammons.
But this ad … there’s just something fundamentally wrong with it:
Personally I’d rename the concept, as a sixty-five year old white guy in a suit doesn’t sell “Spring Break” to me.
