I’ve been seeing more and more Gotham, and tons of stuff that seems to be riding on Obama’s communications coat-tails in one way or another. I’m curious if you’ve noticed the same thing.
I imagine that in the case of the Camel ad above, it was a conscious maneuver, but I also have a hunch that a lot of people are doing it subconsciously. And that’s especially curious.
