\"Reetone,Well, It’s that time again, I am bothering to write something. \u00a0It took a lot this time, I’ve been awake for almost 36 hours straight and TV has taken me to a point where I am almost upset with it. \u00a0Why TV, WHY? \u00a0I guess I can’t stay mad for long. \u00a0It’s not TV’s fault, of course, it’s these advertising people. \u00a0They all have their pretty little jobs (I want one), they get to play with graphics and silly ideas all day (seriously, that’s my kind of thing), yet 90% of their “creations” are\u00a0so<\/em> bad. \u00a0I realise making up statistics here is a little ironic.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, lack of sleep has left me with the memory of only one ad this fair day\u00a0evening. \u00a0Unfortunately for Reebok, theirs stuck in my mind. \u00a0Don’t get me wrong, this is no achievement on their part, the ad was the last before I switched off (the TV, that is. \u00a0Mentally I have been gone for a while now). \u00a0However I don’t have much to say about it so I shall rant a little about what I can remember of the other adverts. \u00a0I apologise for all the\u00a0brackets\u00a0and the lack of details, at least these words appear to make some sense, even though most are not my first choice (for some reason my brain has given up on the nice words I know exist and has left me relatively\u00a0monosyllabic,\u00a0apart from the word\u00a0monosyllabic of course).<\/p>\n

I need to get this off my chest. \u00a0It has been bothering me for a while now, along with the question “If I am a product of my genetics and environment, what is my role in this”. \u00a0Anyhoo, why must these things lie (ads)? \u00a0I guess this is a daft question, the response seems obvious – to sell to all these guffawing idiots with little else to do other than stare at a screen all day, spending their dole money on Pot Noodles and copies of Nuts. \u00a0Seriously though, I would have thought this kind of thing would be illegal. \u00a0Can’t some law be passed to force adverts to state at least one\u00a0provable\u00a0fact? \u00a0Obviously this would have to be defined to\u00a0not\u00a0include things such as “It makes you look 10 years younger\u00b9”.<\/p>\n

\u00b9 – 15% of 28 people with a height less then 5’4″ questioned randomly in the street whilst being bribed with chocolate biscuit(s) agree.<\/h6>\n

If I see an advert and it contains speech, it always seems to be trying to lie to me. \u00a0I don’t like this for several reasons. \u00a01. \u00a0I have been taught not to lie, why should anyone else have this unfair advantage? \u00a0This is an\u00a0argument\u00a0similar to my theory that all roads would be much safer, quicker and more enjoyable if no one else was allowed on them. \u00a02. \u00a0I dislike being so\u00a0blatantly\u00a0deemed an idiot, and by people I have never met, who are probably not even geographically, or sentimentally, close to me. \u00a03. \u00a0I am being taunted with things I want, whilst knowing that the product won’t really provide them to me. \u00a04. \u00a0Last, not least, for the first 10 seconds, I sit there nodding whilst reaching for the phone, wondering why I hadn’t realised I needed this amazing, high quality, fashionable dog muzzle at such a low price, I mean it’s been discounted twice, it must be cheap, even though 50% and then 20% discount still only adds to 60% and the initial price these discounts are being applied to was probably just reversed engineered from some silly marketing tactic. \u00a0Hold on…<\/p>\n

Another solution would be to allow only the less irrational of us the\u00a0privilege\u00a0of ownership of toys such as\u00a0television. \u00a0This however feels worryingly like ethnic cleansing, something I find as hard to agree with as writing in\u00a0English\u00a0without a spell checker. \u00a0I should perhaps point out that English is most certainly my native\u00a0tongue, or at least a version thereof, and French roles in in second place with sufficient charm and wit to be thrown out of a third world country whilst offering free money. \u00a0Well, I could probably get myself a beer. \u00a0I can speak quite loudly when I want to, and I take immense pride in the slow tempo of my speech.<\/p>\n

Please see below for a thirty second insight into something which appears to me to have a slight logical flaw.<\/p>\n

My question is this. \u00a0Why would I pay more for a trainer which makes it more difficult to walk? \u00a0I apologise for engaging my brain when I should have been tilting my head to check out all that ‘booty’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
