I found myself watching re-runs of Will and Grace last night after I ran out of roach and ant spray and my Friday night killing spree fell short of a massacre. Worry not…I am on my way to get more spray after writing this.
Now, I am normally a lover of commercials, especially when well thought out and especially comedic. More entertainingly, though, I wonder how it is possible for chocolate and junk food commercials to get away with casting skinny 98 pound women to wrap their lips around chocolate and french fries, yet cigarette commercials have been banned. Clearly, the effects of cigarettes have become common knowledge and the harmful chemicals and addictive nature of smokey treats have brought advertising the product to a screeching halt.
Shouldn’t the effects of eating chocolate and junk food be handled in the same manner? Should we not have fat, disgusting, cholesterol infested candidates for casting in commercials that promote the stuff?
So, let me get this straight. Our country is infested with fat asses who pray to Gods with names like Ronald McDonald and assorted colors of M&M characters whom cost our country billions a year in medical expenses and funding for their electric motorized shopping vehicles. We can turn on the television at any given time and see the very products that most likely put them in this state being gobbled down by skinny bitches sporting daisy dukes. Yet Joe Camel and Marlboro Man have been laid to rest due to the harmful products they promoted?
Makes sense to me.
I say bring back the Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man… wheeling oxygen tanks and smoking through their tracheotomy holes as they wheeze hellishly after walking across the set.
For fast food the solution is simple round up a bunch of fatties give them a pile of free food and film the riot that ensues.
What really chaps my ass is the fact that “Americans” are becoming so stupid that the government has started to sensor what we see, what we can do, and who we can do it too and no one seems to think that’s an issue. Don’t let them see it! That’s the best you can do? Americans have lost the last shreds of commonsense. We follow blindly with out a hope for individuality while calling are follow-the-leader wardrobe and diet just that us being individuals.
Case and point I was at a local bar last Friday, being a social conformist and hanging with some acquaintances, when in walks three guys in their early twenties who looked like they just got done filming a local episode of Jersey Shores and on the way to the bar had been jumped by someone welding a fully automatic be-dazzler. This demented glitter demon had attacked what had once been their standard black tee shirts… not one but all three of them (after the masked be-dazzler toting fiend had fled into the night) decided it was a good idea to wear these shirts to the bar, drink large amounts of gray goose vodka mixed with large amounts of pucker in an attempt to take away all of the flavor of the over priced vodka itself, while hitting on anything that could be in most countries considered female and by known definitions alive… when I asked them why they were wearing matching sequin covered tee shirts I was told that they were “Affliction shirts” I told them their shirts had been “afflicted” with sparkles and if they liked things that sparkled and were will to pay $80.00 a shirt I would be happy to run to Wal-Mart and make that happen. They informed me that wal-mart did not sell Affliction shirts… I laughed and apologizing for my obvious stupidity on the subject of the Affliction shirts walked away……..
I personally can not wait to see who the leaders of America are when I am 50.
So in closing I think rather then being worried about a double standard maybe just worry about the pending tard-a-pocolipse! Until next time you stay stupid America!
FML!
