- Jim,
- You found a distinct difference in the Lincon Mark VIII commercial
- though on the negative side. They have been successful in getting
- their message to you.
-
- I am not an advertising expert but as far as I know it is called negative
- advertising. The aim is to show something horrible to attract attention
- of the viewers and communicate the message.
