freethink

What a shame…I buy Jergens Body Lotion with the hint of self-tanner in it because the commercial shows a woman with beautifully tanned skin.

What a shame…I listen to Vince on Sham Wow (or Sham Pow, if you know his latest run in with a “lady of the night”). It really soaks up all that pop or soda? Yes it does. The commercial tells me it does.

If I turn on an “infomercial” with Billy Maze, I am aMAZEd by him. He can sell me a product I have absolutely no need for. But his dark hair and beard draw me into the TV and leave my eyes fixated on it. I blink and i’ve already called and ordered his latest product. Did I really do that? Did the media do it for me? Let me check my call history. Yep, I ordered it.

I can’t think on my own anymore. I’m consumed by commercials and advertisements that tell me to buy this product because it will change my life, it will make me feel better.

I’m watching you, Mr. Media. You won’t control my life anymore. *Insert sob*
