TV commercials are making me uncomfortable in my easy chair

It’s baaaaaaccccckkkkk! What am I talking about? Woke Subliminal advertising keeps trying to socially engineer the land of the free and the home of the unsuspecting (brave). What is subliminal advertising?

According to Google’s AI, subliminal advertising is a technique where marketers use visual or auditory stimuli that are below the conscious threshold of perception to influence consumer behavior. It’s designed to subtly affect attitudes and desires without the consumer being aware they’re being manipulated.

In addition to being heavier than I should be at 71, I am too cheap to pay Amazon Prime to eliminate commercials. Their commercials are annoying, and I suspect they are trying to make me feel guilty for marrying a woman of my own race.

I love my wife, and I am glad I married her. As I watch their commercials, however, nearly all families in America are mixed race. When I look at my wife and then look at the wives on TV, a dissonance develops in my brain. Questions develop in my gray matter that ask: Why doesn’t my wife look like the wives on the commercials, or why doesn’t my family look like the commercial families?

Like most law-abiding citizens, I get bothered when someone suggests I did something wrong. Like most contrarians, I grow weary of the strict demands of peer pressure.

The wokesters out there are not going away. To be sure, they took a hit with the second election of Donald Trump in 2024, but they are fighting for their vision of what this country should be as much as we are fighting to Make America Great Again. They still have major pieces on this chessboard from sea to shining sea.

Fortunately for us, they still cling to their wildly unpopular woke ideas...

I still can’t believe this commercial was ever made, much less aired. As a Super Bowl commercial no less. Typical ABF* hits a pretty white girl and runs off.

LOL! Reminds me of this episode, where Michelle made him change seat with her after this selfie:

Imagine if the media extolled the likes of Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, John McWhorter and Clarence Thomas.

I don’t do it either. Just letting people know how Amazon works extremely hard and long to rip off their customers.

Lol. The commercial I saw is a black dude gets his oil change someplace so fast he doesn’t have time to fix his garage door opener so he just plows into the garage door.

“Woke Subliminal advertising keeps trying to socially engineer the land of the free and the home of the unsuspecting (brave).”

The overt use of mixed race couples in advertising is most certainly WOKE, but has nothing to do with subliminal advertising, which is covert by definition. Historic examples of subliminally suggestive advertising include the insertion of a single frame for a fraction of a second in a movie or video that repeats itself every few minutes (i.e., popcorn, soda, hot dog); photographs/videos that contain “Freudian shapes” that are sexually suggestive (i.e., ice cubes in liquor advertisements); and product logos that include shapes and symbols that are benign on the surface, but have secondary meaning (i.e., Amazon, Tostitos)

In contrast, there is nothing subliminal about the use of mixed race couples in advertising; rather, the ads are in your face and obvious.

I saw an episode of a tv show called ‘Fam’ on cbs in 2019 that every character was part of a checklist. Black, white, trashy 16 year old sister, racist cop dad. Zero chemistry among the cast and bad comedy writing.

Yep. and you can even go to “clearsky” to see how many people have blocked you. I’m only up to about 750, but some are in the twenty to thirty thousand range.

The advertising industry is run by freaks and pervs. It has been for a long time.
