Commercials

Welcome back!
Have you checked out the recent commercials that have appeared on TV?
It is an amazing crop. Most of them are not appealing because they show behavior that is not good. Sacrificing humans to test a candy bar; snotty, bratty children who put down their parents or sass them and back talk. [...]

What I Mean

My brother-in-law mentioned that I should clarify what it is that I am talking about.
Some of those commercials that bother me are these:
A company wants to test out a candy bar. They feed some of the candy to people, then they feed the people to sharks and ask the sharks’ opinions about the taste [...]

Who Decided?

My question for the day is….who decided that rudeness, arrogance, snottiness and other inappropriate behaviors are good advertising?
Kids see this crud on the TV. Most people will ignore the ads, but kids will seee this and then think that it is okay for their behavior. Why does anyone think that advertising works, if [...]

Hilarious.
If I am in a store and the products on the shelf start to sing to me, I would [...]

How’d they do that?

I have been watching those commercials that seem to use people as the art work.
My main thought is - how’d they do that?
It is amazing how the people are arranged to make the different types of scenes and the things that we see in those scenes. The clouds are people, the sun is people, [...]

Advertising, or Put-down?

I do not understand the recent wave of advertising that implies that Americans are stupid, or morons.
Tasteless commercials with idiotic people who do not seem to have brains in their heads are an insult to Average American Citizens. Why do ad agencies think that showing morons will get people to buy things? When [...]

Don’t Like Commercials

I do not like most of today’s commercials. Too many times they present themselves with rude arrogant people, and kids that act like brats. The kids act like brats and get rewarded for it. That is wrong.
What ever happened to commercials that can be entertaining? Now it is like the commercials [...]
