i just heard this on TV. "it's one thing to bail out wall street, but who's gonna bail YOU out? ...Denny's!!!" i wonder if the grand-fuck-slam is FDIC insured.
the way the advertisements use our fears to sell us stuff that we don't even need, i actually wish an advertising exec would just put a gun to my head and yell "coke sucks!!! buy pepsi, you fat son of a bitch!!" in the past, it's always been about people's personal insecurities. "you're too fat. buy this pill" "you're too ugly. buy this makeup." "you're too dumb. read this book." now we fear that our wallets will be drained by the state of our economy. so of course, the advertisers exploit that fear and drain our wallets anyway.
here's another one, brought to us by our good friends at WBLI, "long island's 1 hit music station". just hearing that makes me want to punch a kitten. anyhow, the female DJ says she read an article that americans are stressed out about investing and the economy in general. what is the solution? laser hair removal. let me repeat that so it sinks in... LASER HAIR REMOVAL!!! i wish i was clever enough to come up with a joke like that, but i'm not. this is a legitamate ad. george carlin could've come up with this, but i certainly couldn't. you know what? in introductory college writing classes, they teach you how to form an argument. if the writer of that advertisement went to college, he or she failed intro college writing miserably. given the quality of WBLI radio programming, why would i be surprised?
let me make this clear to you: laser hair removal is not the answer to your financial worries. neither is denny's. if the radio or TV tell you otherwise, hold your middle finger up high and proudly. ...ok, how funny would that be seeing a guy with a walkman on just holding up his middle finger out of the blue?
