NOT Sold

I've been absorbing much more tv lately on my days off because i'm too exhausted from work to do anything else besides shower, eat and nap. Some of the crap companies are trying to sell us is ridiculous and the ways they present it can be down right offensive!

-McDonalds commercial where the "rapper" is rapping about their new Mango Pineapple smoothie. Yes, McDonalds, when i think of hip hop i think of smoothies. When i think of smoothies i think of a hot rap concert where JayZ and Kanye promote a smoothie made by you. Yes, McDonalds, this is going to appeal to ME and all of the minorities because we all love rap music and will buy anything promoted in a hip hop video way. Thank you for speaking directly to us, because this is the only way we understand new products.

-Any of those diet pill commercials where some fake doctors and D-Class celebs promote the "awesome results" of these tiny pills. I'm not sorry when i say that ANYTHING ANY JERSEY SHORE REALITY PERSON PROMOTES I AM 100000000000000000000000% NOT GOING TO BUY!!! PERIOD! Roid raging Ronnie is not the picture of responsible and healthy life choices for a better body...i'm just saying. And the names of these doctors are so fake! Let's be real, those pills can kill a person, stop glamorizing being thin with a tiny pill cause that's not how it works!

-Popeye's Chicken...ok i am a bit partial here because i do enjoy their chicken. What i don't enjoy is this woman on the commercials talking about "my chicken is the best" bla bla bla. First off, how stereotypical is this character? Secondly, you need to stop yelling at me about chicken you don't even cook, and probably don't eat. Yes, its good but stop with all the over acted hype.

-That commercial with the white girl rapping about going back to school. SERIOUSLY?! STOP IT! BAD BAD BAD MARKETING DEPARTMENT!!!!

-Time Warner Cable, every single one of their commercials is a lie! When it works its great but when it fails its horrible and annoying! And no, its never cheaper than the competition, ever!

-Any feminine hygiene products i.e. pads, tampons, wash etc. You people are hilarious trying to make periods seem wonderful and easy to deal with. Every woman knows they don't feel like running threw a field of flowers or dancing or wearing a white bathing suit when on their cycle. Let's just be real, if you showed a woman crying, punching a wall or balled up in bed eating chocolate then had the product next to her, that would be MORE relate able and believable than any group of women dancing at a night club. I could do your job blindly!! And those little "tests" with the blue dyed water isn't fooling anyone, so stop using that as proof of how absorbent the thing is. Why do you even need to show that? Just stop lying! You are pissing us off more!

that's all for now
