you know, i kind of miss the tampax commercials
tv commercials seem to all be 'your broke, here have a loan', 'your broke, sell your car', 'hey, have a good deal on a tv package', 'hey, you can be rich, use that loan money and place a bet! doesn't matter on what, YOU COULD WIN!', 'you have money from gambling wins, feel guilty, feel better by giving to this charity'.
commercials were much more amusing when they were 'got your period? GREAT!! go rock climbing and sky diving and dancing in white trousers', and the ever favorite 'hey you, yes you, your quim isne so fresh, you need this so you smell of flowers'.
then there is the abused and neglected animal ads. does no one ever think to take a claw hammer to the abusive/neglectful owners? perhaps if that were a thing there would be fewer neglectful/abusive owners. and every time i see a save the children commercial i want to shout 'oi! put the camera down, stop making that kid cry and give it half your cheeseburger'. also, most of those kids should be grand parents by now, especially if the other commercials are correct and they are being married off at 10. some of those kids have been crying for the camera since 1970. and what kind of parent sits quietly by letting flies shit in their kids eyes while some putz with a camera makes them cry? another candidate for the claw hammer if you ask me.
and does no one ever ask wtf are the governments of those countries doing? if i were some despotic dictator i would be insulted that charities were making commercials in my country. unless they were paying hollywood feature film rates, supplying me with a steady stream of hot young aid workers and all the mrs butterworths i could cover them in.
that's not the whole of the advertising, but it is all seriously fucked up. it is all 'feel bad' 'feel guilty' 'be scared' 'withdraw from the physical world' 'buy this to feel better' 'give to this to feel better'. where are the commercials telling people to turn off the tv, get out, get some air, better yourself, better your family, better your community?
when did the neglected donkey in india become more important than the starving kid down the street or the ignored person in the next room?
