S20

The Wall Street Journal reports that the advertising industry is planning a week-long event to promote commercial messages.

This needs a serious protest! S20 it is!

"Ad agencies Thursday are expected to announce plans for Advertising
Week in New York City, a fall event designed to spark more awareness
about the services Madison Avenue provides.

"The promotional gala has been crafted to emulate other showy
Manhattan events such as Fashion Week, where designers unveil their
latest creations, and is slated to start the week of Sept. 20, 2004.
A Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame will be dedicated, with
the American public choosing the icons and slogans to be inducted.
Separately, ad aficionados will be able to choose America's favorite
print and broadcast ads through a public vote online via Yahoo. A
parade of ad icons also is being contemplated. Other events are
being planned. Executives hope to make the festival an annual one.
