This is what's known in advertising school as a 'call to inaction'. So weird.

Word has it that the videos were produced in the KRON studios... that's more likely the reason why they are Youtube quality at best. Anyway, KRON is one of the sponsors for this "no Halloween" thing, and I don't think any other local station wants to show that material on the air since it was produced by a rival station. Plus, who watches KRON these days? Just full of Dr. Phil, and people beating the crap out of each other.

Wow, watching those, I feel like I just time-warped back to, say 1986. Seriously? Doesn't this town have some world-class designers and copy writers? I half expected Michael to wrap things up with, "And THAT'S ... one to grow on."

I love my pro Castro Halloween PSA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5e6LZlCVAw It costs the city thousands to produce this youtube quality video, while mine was zero! (but a loss of two hours of sleep last night)
