Tom is timely, thought provoking and all about the new brand vision packaged as a Seinfeld stand up. I went to school on his ideas.

Hey, Tom.
I really had a great time listening to the well-written media-themed parody of one of my most favorite songs. Hummed some of the lines, actually.
However, I think that there is no so-called "death" of advertising and print media. I believe that they only went through a transition of one effective (as well as timely) vehicle for social awareness.
I believe that one day, the least we expect it, advertising and print media will rise up again with a bang.
