Aaron Greenspan Advertising From the We Didn't Think This Through Department: Internet advertising is such a hilarious boondoggle. United wasted 100% of its money paying for these banner impressions aimed at me. Yes, I did start booking a trip to Chicago on the United website. Yes, back in the 1990s, it was thought that it would be miraculous if you could specifically target customers who left something un-bought in their shopping carts. Maybe just reminding them in an ad would compel them to finish the transaction! The only problem? I did. I booked the trip to Chicago. Just not using that same shopping cart. I booked my ticket to Chicago in a new browser session probably because the first one expired, or I wanted a different time, or I wanted to use credit card points, or who knows. But I definitely have a ticket to Chicago, on United, and I'm not going to click on the ad to buy a second one. Thanks anyway, though.

		Family members have taken prescription medications that did far more harm that good. These medications should not be advertised direct to consumers who are totally unqualified to evaluate them.
