D. Graham Burnett“You won’t believe what just happened. I was standing out there, getting ready to stride toward the ball, when a strange feeling came over me. I was looking right at the football. It was up on the tee. I was standing ten yards away, looking right at it, waiting for the whistle so I could make my approach, and that’s when I got this strange insight.

Always 10:10 Tom DaleAs a rule, advertising likes to escape the grip of reality at every turn. So it seems incongruous that clocks appear in the background of so many ads.
