the musings of Jacqueline Urick
I really don’t know why I’m finding these Church of Scientology ads so amusing. At least the placement of this one makes more sense.
I love the Britney Spears ringtones ad here too. Like if all else fails, I can at least answer my phone to “Oops, I did it again”.
I saw a couple blog posts about how the Church of Scientology has begun an AdWords campaign to promote their newly redesigned video channel website. It is a pretty fancy new website.
That said, they really need to learn to PPC. Why are they buying “scientology” and “church of scientology”? They are already ranking for those terms!
Also, my friends at the CoS… the word of today is canonical. I don’t know why you guys are maintaining that old site along with the new video site. I see the link there in your video channel and I don’t get it. The branding, tone, etc is really disjointed.
As far as I could tell they were not buying money terms like “tom cruise”, “xenu”, “$cientology” or “chanology” the latter being the name of sorts for the Anonymous movement. If you’re going to buy terms to defend your good name – know your enemies!
I guess one of the more curious discovery while looking to see who was bidding on what on the YouTubes was the fact that Medifast is buying on this term too? They are all freaking over YouTube.
I don’t know who is doing their online marketing but I’ve noticed that they have been really aggressive lately. I see Medifast EVERYWHERE now. I really found this ad highly amusing juxtaposed with the Anonymous / Scientology content. Are they saying the 4chan anon kids are fat (hey /b/ does this post make my ass look fat? in before tits or GTFO)? Or the Scientologists or both? I guess we as humans can all find a commonality in our weird body-image issues. Lets all hold hands and slurp a ready-to-drink soy-shake. Maybe L Ron Hubbard should have started a diet-related cult instead.
