And another thing I’ve noticed. Not only are the commercials taking up more time they have changed their tenor, at least on the stations I frequent.
Remember the good old days when TV and radio commercials tried to get you to buy their product by selling ‘useful’ ‘tasty’, ‘sexy’ and/or ‘fun’?
Now just about every ad I see sells fear and/or greed.
I swear that 90% of the programs I watch would NOT air if it wasn’t for the hucksters of ‘miracle cures’, followed by commercials of lawyers wanting you to hire them to sue the manufacturers of those same ‘miracle cures’. Or ripoff life insurance programs or “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!’ systems.
“Now just about every ad I see sells fear and/or greed.”
And features a inter-racial couple (most usually a white man and a black woman. . .wonder why).
And they usually have a bi-racial child.
And let’s not forget homosexuals, too.
Used to be commercials aimed their pitches at their most likely demographic. . .not so much today, unless you think an inter-racial homosexual couple with a bi-racial kid is a major market segment.
“Remember the good old days when TV and radio commercials tried to get you to buy their product by selling ‘useful’ ‘tasty’, ‘sexy’ and/or ‘fun’?”
Oh, and angry liberals are to blame for that: NO ONE BETTER BE HAPPY when there is so much injustice in the US, no one!
