Or if the ad agencies et al THINK you are sheep.

Just look at how Beer is sold...or any of the multitude of "image" products.
Cars, etc.

Nothing in the commercial about the beer...

   ...except that if you drink brand X  =  fun, good looking girls, sports
and verility.

(I think in the case of the Manchester ratings ad, the WBZ PRomo...and they
WLAW brochure.....they are probably trying to convince the agencies that
