I really didn’t like the first of the new CNN.com commercials I saw the other day, but that was mostly because I find Anderson Cooper to be nearly unbearable as an anchor, and it was one of the ones starring him.
Today, though, I was working through my long-neglected gmail inbox and noticed a Slate article reviewing the ad campaign. From there, I clicked over to CNN and watched the rest of the ads, which I had not yet seen. I agree that this campaign doesn’t have a real clear message (is it for CNN or the Web site?). However, some of the behind-the-scenes stuff and outtakes are quite amusing.
My CNN fix feels filled for at least the next day or two now. 🙂
And the commercials confirm my long-held belief that Wolf Blitzer is God’s gift to CNN. I just love that guy.
