While watching television last night, Yak the Younger saw something worth reporting.
One of those annoying “get cash for your structured settlement” ads began playing on the television, but instead of playing the full ad the company had apparently purchased one of the increasingly popular “blink ad” spots – the ones where you see only the first five seconds of a longer ad. (Research shows most of us then spend the next 30 seconds pondering the “mistake” and thinking about the ad we didn’t see – thereby missing the next ad entirely and falling completely within the advertiser’s trap by doing precisely what they intended us to do – think about their product.)Â
No big deal in itself, but the ad that followed the blink created the following (highly entertaining) result:
“You know that structured settlement check you receive as a result of your injury or legal claim?”
/cut to music:
“It’s all here at [Name Omitted] Casino Resort!”
Â
You can’t write this stuff. I’m just glad it occasionally writes itself.
Consider this your first-in-a-long-time open trackback post. Promoted at:

Now see, every time I visit the blogs I learn something. I though those “blink” ads (didn’t know they had a name) defaulted to a local advertiser, or something of that sort, when they were really working subliminally.
BTW, I like your memoire.
