Bob Says: Comic Books to Have Product Placement

Bob Says, I hope they take out the ad pages and do more story. But I know that will not be the case.

Notoriously hard to reach, young adult males are known to be wary of traditional sales pitches, especially ones that get in the way of their entertainment. "It's the kind of audience that is harder and harder and harder to get to," says Dino Bernacchi, advertising manager for Pontiac."
