A mess of white folks (hey, some of us check for that sort of thing) are spread around a park, picnicking and sunbathing, playing Frisbee -- you know, doing park-y stuff.<br /><br />One gentleman, alone on his blanket, is framed by some cubic bubbles (or perhaps he's about to be jumped by a gang of marshmallows). The ad copy instructs, "MARKETING DOLLARS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO WASTE ON EVERYONE." No revelation that, but sure, it's a lesson that bears repeating.<br /><br />So who's the advertiser? <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/experian-group-limited/expn/ise">Experian Group</a> (LSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/experian-group-limited/expn/ise">EXPN</a>).<br /><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/09/12/the-many-ads-of-experian-expn-separating-fact-from-fiction/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Experian (EXPN): Dancing mortgage girls pay our bills!</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/09/12/the-many-ads-of-experian-expn-separating-fact-from-fiction/">Experian (EXPN): Dancing mortgage girls pay our bills!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 12 Sep 2007 16:45:00 EST.
