Oh I could rant about this all day. I'll try to keep it short.
Commercials bug me to no end.
The infomercials are hilarious- have you noticed that the people on them are so stupid, inept and incapable of simple motor skills that I am surprised they can walk. Like the knife commercials where the 'before' person tries to cut a tomato and it looks like they hit it with a brick. They can't open a bag. make juice or boil spaghetti without a major disaster.
Mainstream commercials all target what they think are the public's core values. If you buy our product it will make you more attractive, smarter, more popular and you will have more time to spend with the family (you bad parent you).
It disgusts me to see a commercial where the ad-people show a "happy mainstream family" going into paroxysms of joy because a cartoon character put a slice of bread on a sandwich.
Try reading the fine print on banking, insurance and drug commercials. If you are a fast reader - you may notice what they write often negates most of what they say.
I hope people aren't quite as greedy and vain as our advertizing industry portrays us.
Ok - I'm done.
