Greetings good citizen, As usual I surfed the net for a while before stopping to write this for the purpose of keeping these articles 'relevant'. Today I observed that advertising driven media is...psychotic (for lack of a better word.)
Most of us 'block' the more obvious attempts made by advertisers to get us to 'buy' but the assault on your senses remains.
Now, the pragmatic among us will say advertising is advertising and the makers of these ads have a 'right' [bordering on an 'obligation'] to promote their products.
But where does product promotion end and mayhem begin?
I just watched an ad for Hefty [brand] products using children behaving like drunken adults [including the 'by-line' Party Harder as if this sort of behavior was 'acceptable'.]
Now, as adults, we understand the 'allusion' here is the product is 'Tough' but instead of 'saying' that they instead show a bunch of 6 year-olds acting like drunk adults at a frat party!
Again, the question returns to the 'purpose' of the ad which is to be 'eye-catching' and the message, 'where are the f'n adults?' which begs the question of how old are the MORONS making this tripe?
Is Madison Avenue now hiring 10 year-olds? [More succinctly, using them in 'focus groups'?]
I understand, it's just an ad for pete's sake, get over myself!
What are YOU going to do when that same ad is presented to you as 'evidence' our society has 'gone off the deep end' so it's time for 'the adults' to step in and take over?
Because that's the 'real' message here, good citizen.
Repeat until it sinks in... where are the 'adults'?
Not for nothing I'm sure you all have been watching TV and asking yourself, who writes this crap, twelve-year-olds? [understand, I'm being 'kind' calling them 12 year-olds...half of this junk looks like it was written in crayon for an audience of their peers!]
Let's back up another 'half step' shall we? If they don't 'treat you like adults' how long will it be before 'our betters' decide we all need a time out and we're made to sit in the corner while they 'straighten things out'.
We can already see what THEY'VE done to this world, our collective failure to unite against them is a pretty damning indictment against us and our apparent inability to manage on our own.
Make NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, when the time comes [sooner than you'd expect] that is PRECISELY what is going to happen.
We are going to 'rise up' and THEY are going to shout TOO LATE!
HOPEFULLY the ensuing 'blood-bath' will be incredible because if you do as you've been 'conditioned to do', we're ALL Dead.
You will hopefully consider my warning but I have to admit, I sound 'crazy' to me too.
Ironically, that is the whole point.
If you can't wrap your head around it well, its been nice knowing you!
There is no 'comfort' knowing the self-professed 'adults' are now back in control, they are the ones responsible for this mess!
Duped again! [It would be funny if it weren't so pathetically easy. Ever look up the phrase 'trusting to a fault'? Were you shocked to find a mirror next to the definition?
Did [do] you get it?
Que, sera, sera amigo!
Until next time, thank you for letting me inside your head...why do I want to apologize for not being able to save you?
It isn't my fault. The ONLY person that can save you IS YOU!
