TV Commercials

You either hate them or…

I don’t really hate them, but I do “Mute” them!
I have that button memorized on the remote; I can do it with my eyes closed!
I am aware that they do serve a purpose, although some do fall into the category of, “More Information Then I Need To Know!”

Do they have to be so LOUD?

I guess they figure that you’re in the kitchen grabbing a snack, or in the bathroom, “answering the call” and the manufacturer wants to assure that you’ll hear their spiel for their product.
Wake Up Madison Avenue! That was then… This is now!
For the most part, folks today are at least quasi health conscience.
Do you honestly think people are going to run to the kitchen, the moment your deodorant commercial comes on?
As for the other… According to your commercials: “Low cost disposable catheters are now available through you healthcare provider.”
[See what I mean about too much info?]

The Pharmaceutical companies have climbed on board too!
Some of those gems that air in prime time are a hoot!
The manufacturer is touting their “Silver Bullet” of medication for whatever the issue is…
“Possible side effects may include heart attack, stroke or death…”
Hello!
Aren’t those three areas that we’re supposed to try and avoid!

In fairness to some of those ad campaigns…
You have cranked out some memorable beauties and I do have one, from awhile back, I did enjoy!
Car Commercial, little kid says, “Zoom, Zoom” with a catchy little jingle.

I was back on my bike, going down Beach Hill, full speed…

Did I go out and buy one of those cars? No, but I enjoyed the memory and it did make me smile.

Why a posting about TV Commercials?
Coming up on February 7, 2010 [Check your local listings] they’ll be this little sporting event, called The Super Bowl!
The premier launch vehicle of all TV Commercials big and small.
Watching the game has become a tradition, likewise seeing what commercials make you laugh or that captures your attention.
Oh yes I’ll be watching and my hair trigger will be removed from the “Mute” button on the remote.
[Perhaps a long shot but, GO SAINTS!]
