The reasons are known to anyone who operates or works in an ad agency. There is nothing worse for sales (whether on the net/TV/print) than bad news. We now have 24/7 TV coverage of hurricanes.

The acid test of that is in "off-the-page" sales in print media - the response from this kind of advertising needs to happen within a day or so of publication, else it just does not happen.

Years back I managed to achieve one of these "successes" in lack of response where ya dump $30K on print ads in newspapers for the ads to appear over a weekend. So happens one weekend the timing was bad and there were declarations of war as headlines in print media. The response from all ads could be counted on one hand - bye bye $30K! :-)

The only bad luck ya got is bad news over hurricanes appearing cam4teen - the response/conversions will get back to sanity when the shit dies down!
