How to Get Ahead in Korea…
While I wouldn’t go so far as to include it in my “Creative Korean Advertising” series, this advertisement certainly did get my attention when it was in the form of the entire back page of today’s Korea Times, and not just because I have a shaved head myself! Click on it for a full-size image, and you’ll soon see what I mean.
Meanwhile, apologies for the lack of posts recently, but my father-in-law literally fell off a cliff last weekend, and had to be taken by helicopter to the closest hospital. He’s okay (ish), but he’ll be in hospital for a long time, and with my wife going back and forth to her hometown to see him, my looking after the children while she does, and all my other work and paid writing commitments, then my blogging plans for this week have lost out to my getting a whole 5 hours of sleep a night I’m afraid(!). But blogging-wise at least, things should be back to normal within a couple of days.

Why yes, I am still in the process of writing four(!) very large posts. Why do you ask?
Seriously though, while I’ll finish at least one of those just as soon as I can, I do like the above advertisement, and given how its concept could be used for selling a personal music player of any form then I’m surprised not to have seen any more like it in the 13 years since, not least from Samsung itself.
Or perhaps there have been some equivalents out there? Despite the post title, I’d be the first to admit that the original idea may well have come from a different company.
