Why does clock ads show time always as 10.10 ?

                                Why does clock ads show time always as 10.10 ?

We can see that the time always showed at 10.10  in news papers and also on tv . There are many theories regarding this.
1 . By placing the hands of the clock at 10.10 , the logo of the clock manufacturing company is clearly visible as well as the decoration (if any) of hands of clocks.
2. The time 10.10 resembles a smiley . People tried another way of showing the hands 8.20 . In this way too, all the above said details are covered. But the direction of hands resembles a face with frown. People will like the smiling face than the frowning face.
Because of these reasons, advertisers selected the time as 10.10 as time to show in clock advertisements.
