Beware, gentle consumer. Danger lurks. But FOX Sports has taken the liberty of sending out a warning. In an ad campaign created by TBWA/Chiat/Day, San Francisco, and directed by Baker Smith of Santa Monica-based Harvest, FOX informs viewers that products made during the month of October are bound to malfunction. Why? Because assembly-line workers across the country will be watching Major League Baseball’s World Series on TV, rather than watching what they’re doing.
