The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsWTF Commercials
(Alternative title: Sam Blows A Gasket... and I don't mean in a good way)
What is with all the "what the f*ck" commercials out there?
You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that you watch all the way through, and at the end of it all, your only response is "what the f*ck?"
Like, for instance, this new Skittles commercial, which undoubtedly begs that familiar question, WHAT THE F*CK?
Seriously, do you get it? Because I sure don't.
Gaw dang, some commercials suck sh*t!
Are they running out of ideas, or something?
I just don't get what's driving companies to create such wretched cr*p.
If they think this is going to sell their product to me, they are completely wrong. In fact, with many of the commercials that annoy the p*ss out of me, I purposely elect not to purchase their products as a result.
Or, how about that anti-Dave Reichert ad where the Democrats say something like don't vote for him, he supports the Bush agenda.
If I was able to vote in that election, I would see the commercial as a pro-Dave Reichert ad BECAUSE he supposedly supports the Bush agenda.
Bush is doing the correct thing for the most part, so... uh, ya, I'd vote for the guy.
Negative advertising. Is that how they think they're all going to sell their wares? And I say negative because it has a negative effect on me. I want to beat the poop out of the people who create those commercials, not buy from them or support them.
Anyhow, I'm not really going anywhere with this other than to say they suck. They suck-diddley-uck. They suck-diddley-iddley-oodley-iddley-uck.
Seriously.
F*ck.

You have to see it on a deeper lever. The rabit represents man's yearning for higher cultural attainment over his carnal nature, (which is represented by the pack of skittles), but when the man trades his basest pleasures (the skittles) for higher emotional needs, he finds that he loses the part of himself that is nessary to his internal identity, and the more temporal pleasures of the bunny soon fade and loses its value, represented in its captivity, until finally the man returns to try reclaim his only necessary means of gratification that was traded erroneously for vane pleasures, only to find the opportunity has since passed, and then likewise, the bunny of his discontent frees itself from its cruel bondage and flees into the rainy night with the last vestiges of the man's soul. Fly bunny, fly away! Flee that which oppresses you!
I'm just kidding, it's all bullsh*t. Skittle?

I wouldn't doubt if that's an absolutely correct interpretation.
Because I just don't get it otherwise.

You have to remember, commercials are not meant to be art, they are meant to bring the product to your mind.
Which this one seems to have done. ;-)
As to the political ones? EXACTLY I heard an attempt to negative add one of the local candidates for Congress and it helped me to decide to vote for him. LOL
One of the worst ones I ever heard of was back in the 90s
"When someone votes for a Republican, another Black Church burns?"
No I am not making that up.

I try not to watch TV. I do more entertaining things like, read your blog, play the trumpet or guitar, write, read, drink Scotch or Vodka until I pass out; sometimes stare at the wall.
Anything to avoid TV.

Dan - their intent is also to sell the product, and there is no doubt that I'm not buying with crappy commercials like that, lol.
madd - darn you and your TIVO, lol, we don't have that up here yet.
ole blue - I'm jealous, I miss playing trumpet. And, I'm thinking of joining you on those last two suggestions, lol

Welcome to the new dark ages of illiterate "mass man" where in order to sell anything, subliterate advertising copywriters and even deeper subliterate corporate dumbasses must appeal to the lowest common denominator... as that denominator sinks ever lower and lower in a population of ever-growing sub- and illiterates.
Pretty soon, advertising content will be reduced to "Ugh, Ooooo, *Slurp*." And that'll be in ads for financial services.
