Being old I remember how commercials and ads used to be. Having does ad sales and written them for radio, I followed rules. Guess now there are none. Seems TV and print are obsessed with peoples leaking bottoms. If it isnt some baby or toddler in pullups, they are on the can. Or the 3 bears are hung up on TP instead of porridge. Maybe mama bear ought to watch what she put in hers. Decency is long gone. I remember when feminine products were behind the counter in the drug store, pre-wrapped in store paper so no one knew what you carried out. Now I await the day when TV ads show one how to insert or put on. Ad after ad...poise in your pants, water hoses, underwear. Sheesh..is the whole country leaking constantly? If it isnt sanitary or privates, it is drugs. There's a pill for that. Invent a pill, invent a disease for it. I was taught saturation for ads. To a point. Change the ad often so people dont tune out. Now, you need a new cheap junk shower, windows, siding, doors, medicare plan. And of course I am going to hire a company that can afford to put that many 60 seconds ads on every day. Sorry...I am not paying for them. Everytime I see JJ, I want to slap him. Now ,that he makes sound like some cat in agony. Some ads have more production than the shows. Nice with sound turned off to watch the scenery. Some are clever and funny. Good to watch as entertainment. Not buying your product tho. And ask me who the ad was for..hmmm...didnt notice, dont remember. How many people tune out commercials and skip past print ads?
Did they ever need intelligence? You may be put out that ads don't meet some standard of Geewhiz and goshdarn but they were never invented to raise the level of consciousness or dialog. They are there to sell people on things that they likely do not ever need because you will stink, be a total loser and have no friends and totally lose out on the meaning of life if you don't purchase thus and so RIGHT NOW! or in three easy installments of 19.95..... Now how much would you pay!?! If you watch commercial TV you get what you pay for.
