Happy Junk Food Thanksgiving everybody! Edit: I hate these commercials. Thinly veiled fascades. My sister and I have been deconstructing each and then guessing what they are. "dog! Farm! Rough and tumble white guy comes out next to horse stable! Survey says: budweiser!" *ding ding"
I used to get all bent out of shape when commercials exploited deep emotions for crass purposes ("be a good dad! Buy our useless fucking car!"). Then I went on facebook and realized that new marketing amounts to, "hey, I noticed you mentioned girdles in your totally private e-mail. Here's a shitty picture of a girdle. Buy it." Now I appreciate the fact that ad men at least have to employ some artistic sense to shill their shit. Dying art form, that. I've never mentioned girdles in an e-mail, for the record
