Ad spoofs

I knew I wasn't the only one watching TV this weekend and wondering why ad agencies are suddenly taking competitors on directly with copycat spoofs. Slate weighs in on the new campaigns by NetZero (vs. AOL) and Bud Light (vs. Miller Lite). See the NetZero ads here. Amusing? Yes. Effective? Dunno. I'd like to think my ad agency could come up with its own creative campaign. But that's just me.
