Sit down and watch the tube

I just finished having a good conversation with my ol man that I feel the need to share. Television commercials. Question: Why are T.V. commercials so down right degrading and condescending to the people they are trying to advertise too? Am I the only person that feels insulted at some of these commercials? Why is it always some stupid guy between the ages of 25-35 doing something stupid. If the message corporations are trying to send is this: You're an idiot. If you buy our product you're and idiot and your're and idiot if you think you can live without it. Why on earth should I buy that product.

food for thought,

Next time one finds themselves flipping through the tube, give them a good look and see what you think.

Apparently you are not the lowest common denominator. Additionally, you seem to have an ability to analyze.

Get treatment before someone recognizes this and forces you into a re-education camp.

stay safe.

I never watch commercials except for sports .. 85% of them have some sports figure selling body products ... 15% of the others have girls selling some types of products but I can't remember the products...
