ODDVERTISING with Don Corrigan
Saturday, November 23, 2024 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Sound-Off About Stupid Ads!
“ODDVERTISING” Coming To Blumenhof Nov. 23
On the heels of its first presentation in Chicago PCA, humorist Don
Corrigan will bring the “STORY OF ODDVERTISING” to Blumenhof Winery
in Dutzow at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 23. The audience at the free show is invited to
the Winery Tasting Room to “Sip, Snicker and Sound-Off!”
A Sound-Off Session will have attendees nominate the most annoying TV
ads that they put up with! Why are there so many stupid ads on TV? Why is
the time given to ads expanding? Let’s rank the dumbest ads on TV?
Don has studied and taught media at universities for 40 years. He
espouses media theories of Wally Armbruster, creator of top Budweiser
and toilet bowl ads; Marshall McLuhan, the guru of hot & cool media; and
Mike Johnston, the ad creative who coined this term: “ODDVERTISING.”
Don will discuss his media theory books, which look, in part, at how
squirrels, roadkill, and flatulence are used in ODDVERTISING.
Not all “ODDVERTISING” is Bad. As a fan of Wine Country and author of
The Washington Missourian’s “Off The Vine” column, Corrigan is interested
in your ideas on how to promote wine country in unique ways. No charge
for this event, but purchase of wine and books is encouraged!
