Selling our souls

I don't understand commercials today. Are we really that far gone that we want to be insulted into buying products. Seems like every time i watch TV,(which is not very often) the voice over is mocking me the costumer. They paint men to look like lazy, overgrown children that are commanded by their know it all wife, Kids that are "too cool" to ride in a car with their parents, even pets get into the act. Just today i saw a commercial were puppy's went on a love strike unless they get what they want...Really?? Dose this work for us? I hope that this is not a true reflection of how rude we have become as a nation. If you ever catch anything on the classic game show network you can see how commercial were done in the 50's. So much more class, kindness and information. I get that a lot of you might miss seeing a half naked woman trying to sell you orange juice,(because everyone knows how sexy squeezed fruit is) but back then they did them on a live set. a woman or man impeccably dressed would hold out the product or if it was too large, would wave their hands about it as it sat on a table,while a calm, comforting voice would give the details of the pitch. There was no loud music, soft core porn and most of all no insults. just the facts given with a smile and some times a wink if the gal was feeling sassy. I get that this was a very low budget way to sell, but again, whats wrong with that. think about how much we would save on product if the manufactures saved on ads. I like a good funny commercial. i have nothing against humor. I love snickers and most of the Old spice ads, i just don't like the rude ones. I like my husband. He works hard. I don't run around telling him how it is and what he has to do for me while i roll my eyes at my girlfriends and say something rude like, "i' know he's gonna screw this up but its good to let him try". Are there no men left in the advertising world that take offence to this? Oh, wait, there are plenty of men in the biz, who do you think must be making all the axe body wash commercials. some of the sickest form of day time porn you can get. So you might think I'm a prude, but I'm not. I', just a gal with kids and a husband that i respect.When kids today see these kind of ads it only reinforces in there soft lil' minds that this is the way it is. Little boys can grow up thinking they are only good for lusting after women while being told how to dress by the one they wish they had not married. And our daughter can grow up not only knowing that their husband will be unfaithful to them but that she MUST be an over bearing wench to get anything done. i know my view on this seem extreme but we all have to admit how much power is in ads. we sing the songs, we know the slogans and the spokesman. I just hope that politeness will come back "in". I guess till that day comes,(I'm not going to hold my breath) I'm supposed to lean on my mop handle in a string bikini and knowingly shake my head at my big, childlike husband while the kids demand what they want from us. Ah, that's the kind of home i want.
