TODAYonline, a Singapore newspaper, reports on an ad aimed at young people that uses manga-style art. Two comments: I haven’t seen this at all in the U.S.—lots of merchandise, but no manga-themed advertising. You’d think it would be a natural for a place like Limited Too. The other is that this kind of thing always reminds me of the scene in “Hard Day’s Night” where the Beatles are introduced to the girl who is supposed to be the trend setter, and they mock her. Ad agencies that try to co-opt youth culture are perpetually behind the hipness curve.
