Tax Masters

Filed under: Business — admin @ 2:41 pm

This guy, Patrick Cox, President of Tax Masters, must have one hell of a big ego to feature his fat mug on an expensive television ad I just saw on FoxNews.

Sorry if that seems a bit crude, but in the world of marketing, sensitivity does not hew well with reality. In reality, obese people do not make good spokes people.

The URL on the screen during the commercial was something equally as stupid as putting Patrick’s rotund jowls on the screen. It was www. txmstrs.com, or something like that. I can’t find it. (Here it is. Wisely, Patrick is not featured on the website or there would be a pic here.)

After a cursory search, I can’t find anything on Patrick, the company, or the website. Yet they bought airtime for a commercial they must have produced in a garage. Very interesting execution of what is evidently a masterful business plan.

Anybody else see this commercial? It was so bad I am starting to think I imagined it.

Like sand through a glass

I dredged this little ditty up from the bowels of a comment I made almost two years ago. I like it

I haven’t worn a watch in almost three years, even when I have to go someplace. There is a clock in every room in my house, on each computer, the stove, the microwave, in the tv screen, and on FoxNews. Every vehicle has a clock.

I mean, there is no where you can go and not be reminded that you are quickly running out of time.
