Fun Ad Stuff from Alias and Lost

(AdJab) – There were a couple of interesting things that ABC did with the ads during two of its popular Wednesday night shows. First, Bob at TV Squad points out in his recap of Alias the strange juxtaposition of a promo for ABC's upcoming bird flu panic miniseries coming just before – wait for it – a spot for Perdue Chicken. That's fantastic. Second, there was a fake ad that ran during Lost for the Hanso Foundation. That's the mysterious company that's supposed to be connected to the island in some way. The website and hotline named in the ad have been receiving hits and calls constantly.

Bleeding the show into the ads. Brilliant.
