How much do we take notice of TV commercials? Well, judging by this editorial, quite a lot!
We are pounded by messages every day, unrelenting. We pretend we don’t take it all in but, or course, we do.
And because some of them are so ridiculous, we take even more notice!
Like the multitude of ways to lose weight, especially one, using the loading of a former Spice Girl. Know who I’m talking about?
Or circulatory problems with a former top Australian female swimmer. You must know who I mean!
Or a particular vehicle tyre we don’t want for the simple reason “it isn’t here”. So why bother talking about it?
Or the numerous funeral plans which cost next to nothing a week because “we put family first”. When we’re dead, it doesn’t matter who pays, if, in fact, they do! Let them sort it out!
Or Michael Crawford’s Phantom Of The Opera song selections (ad nauseum). Personally, I prefer Jose Carrera’s version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic.
Or “from little things, big things grow - aka superannuation. We all know that super grows just a little bit but loses lots in these volatile times. In fact, goes backwards more often than not!
Or “buying Australian” because “that all helps us sleep better at night”, so “THANK YOU!” For what?
I still don’t sleep better at night!
