Funny, I’ll take “Things not wish for” for $200, Alex.

That’s just what the elites do as they live life unaffected monitarily. They push up roses and lollypops in the face of other peoples disasters.

+1000- can’t stand them- it’s idiotic- it’s propaganda is what it is- commercials telling us to continue surrendering our rights- to obey government- using hte excuse ‘We’re all in this together’ when this is turning out to be no worse- and perhaps not even as bad as, the common flu-

My politically liberal wife exclaimed how sick she is of these PSAs. On this subject, I agree with her wholeheartedly.

[[I get several robo-calls each day from credit card companies, just to let me know they are “committed to their employees’ and customers’ safety.”]]

They forget to mention: “And please use our cards more often so we can get rich while all of you have to shelter inplace without jobs”

Try listening to classical music on YouTube and the constant interruption by Justine Beaver-types telling me to stay home and stop the spread of blah, blah, blah. All a bunch of one-hit wonders.

You can run such ads seeking donations for abused animal charities or for surgery for children but try that nonsense for alcohol, automobiles, or fast food joints and you're going to turn off a lot of viewers.

They should have asked Billy Squier his opinion about going pansy on video. He had great tunes and a lot of followers but he bought the MTV low testosterone consultant line, pranced around on video and then watched his music stop like a needle scratching across a vinyl record.

Most of the ads end with a message along the lines of "We're all in this together," yet it's clear from the behavior of the media and the Democrats that we are NOT all in this together, that the virus has become as politicized as everything else, and that it has only highlighted the things that divide us.

It may have in some ways brought out the best in some of us, but it has also brought out the worst: rampant lying, anti-religious bigotry, totalitarian impulses in politicians, greed and hoarding, smugness and elitism. class divisions, and - perhaps worst of all - a desire to see people suffer and die because of their political beliefs.

"Is someone going to buy a Subaru because their ads seem to reflect that they “care” more than does Ford or Toyota for instance?"

Even before the virus, Subaru ads were among the worst, prattling on about how a Subaru is built with LOVE.

When I hear “We’re all in this together” it reminds me of the old TV show The Prisoner, and the catchphrase “Be seeing you” that everyone used. Benign and scary at the same time.

Nowadays it seems difficult to see a family in advertising that is not racially blended. It’s totally gratuitous. Here’s white Dad and his two black kids — you should buy the lawnmower he uses.

When those “We’re all in this together”, “We’re all on the same team”, etc., ads come on TV we groan so loudly that we scare the cats.

“Nowadays it seems difficult to see a family in advertising that is not racially blended. It’s totally gratuitous.”

So you noticed that, too? It’s disgusting. And even the token Caucasian actors have dark hair and eyes. Seldom is seen a blonde, blue-eyed person.

Feel-good virtue signalling.

Like the mask wearers.

(Mask wearing for non-infected has never been shown to reduce the spread or lethality. Some top notch virulologists, however, have opined they actually hurt. For infected people, it does help them to not spread to others. Asians have practiced this for decades. Only the sick wear masks. Until recently, that is, thanks to, well, virtue signalling)

Wow. 76 plus replies. I saw this thread when first posted. Figured it would amount to nothing, but only because I do not watch TV.

Evidently many FReepers do. And so the level of sappy Corona TV ads must really be nauseating.

Fortunately, I am an essential employee. And NOT “sheltering at home” 24/7.

But really. Read a book. Watch streaming TV. FReep more. Do something besides sit in front of the boob tube being fed disinformation.

You left out his Asian husband.
