Anybody else feel like this with certain commercials? What's that latest one with a 'turning into your parents' support group or something, acting like anybody who refuses to get a new phone or update their phone every year because 'it's not broken, it's still perfectly good', is a clueless old biddy? You know what? Keep your phone, keep your fancy updates, and I'll keep my money AND my 5 year old phone that's still perfectly good. What, was I supposed to cave into your peer pressure marketing ploy and be so afraid of being uncool that I run right out and get a new phone I don't need? Didn't work.

Like the dish tv commercials which say people who still have cable are masochistic dumb fucks.

Because all those people who line up and wait in front of the Apple store for days whenever a "new, improved" version of a phone or an iPad comes out are to be admired because they just look so, like, smart.

It's an old marketing ploy advertising companies never grew out of. Its like those infomercials that have someone using an "inferior" product and having a heck of a time with it. But then a younger, prettier, hipper person will be using whatever's being advertised and being shown to be having a right jolly old time.

yeah, the dish commercials suck. i live in a co-op and none of us can install satellite dishes.
and to be honest, why would you want one? my parents have it [my father hates it but my mom won't shut up about things] and that shit cuts out every time they have a storm.
every. time.
every.
time.
and they live in central florida so they storm every day.
every. day.
every.
day.
i find all the adverts for things NOT FOUND IN NEW YORK CITY insulting. yeah, sonic and Walmart, talkin to you!
there is one commercial shown on HULU about this invisalign type thing. and this girl whoze zmile over time cauzed her to lozze her confidenze. her before picture she shows us is this little girl about 6 who is at that awkward stage with some adult but everything else baby teeth... and she looked adorable. but now we have to lizten to her lizsp. really? this can't be the 'AFTER' stage!
this new one about weight watchers with this lady whose nose is just so uncomfortable looking. i really hate 'face shaming' but oh god! AND SHE IS THE FIRST PERSON YOU SEE IN THE COMMERCIAL! oh god! oh god!

what about these new cars that automatically stop the car or beep alert you to something in your way? srsly? why can't drivers be held responsible for paying attention? why can't pedestrians be held responsible for paying attention? why can't parents be held responsible for paying attention to their children?

I can definitely understand if something just comes 'out of nowhere' and you only have a second to respond but yeah, if people rely on that instead of their own senses, drivers are going to be just as badly off as the airline pilots are, it was found out a few years back most of them can't fly well enough using their own judgment to even qualify for their work, they need all the computers to figure everything for them. |
