These Hilarious Bushisms are great lesson for advertising creators

Ad copywriters can use the Bush technique to get their ads noticed!

They are funny, they crack you up, and they certainly get attention;  Bushisms can teach advertisers a lesson on how to get noticed.

In a world of mass over-communication, it is so difficult for the typical advertiser to break through clutter.  But breaking through is exactly what you must do.

Slip ups get you noticed

You see, Bush keeps you on your toes.  Plus he creates these little phrases that get played over and over.  Heck, they even named the slip-ups after him.

Enjoy some of the most popular Bushisms and remember they may be a great influence for your next tv or radio commercial.
