  1. I can remember when McDonald's made a major change in commercials.  Instead of focusing on product, price or quality,  they introduced,  "You deserve a break today." Just people having fun. Then Coke went crazy over, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. " 

  2. Our VISEO, so called smart TV,  was just displaying the main home menu screen. Then it started coming up with a promotion of some channel.  A while back it started a slide show of scenery.  Then added "elevator music". Now it's going to some shopping channel.

  3. I know it's all smoke and mirrors,  but seeing the fake 8 gauge in the movie Appaloosa is the star of otherwise a pretty slow movie.  He says it was built on a new replica imported from South America but it looks TTN to me.

  4. In 1971 CBS cancelled all their most popular programs, Beverly Hillbillies,  Green Acres, etc because they were popular in rural and older people.  They wanted to attract a younger urban viewers that consumed more. I'm obviously not their targeted audience.

  5. I pulled up to a gas pump a couple of years back and a flat screen TV built into to pump started spilling out commercials.  Apparently,  the idea didn't take off because I've not seen one lately.

  6. Have you noticed that in the past few years a majority of commercial presenters have been black? Since the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis,  the advertising agencies have gone completely WONK.  Big burly black men dancing and going all gitty over how their laundry smells. They've now diluted some with other models - hefty women and open gay couples and mixed race couples.

    I wonder how many people during a check up or follow up appointment will say, "Hey, Doc.  How about you put me on Latest Wonder Drug that I heard of on television?"  And how many doctors say, "Okay,  we can do that."

     

    What gets me about those is the list of every possible side-effect, but no mention of the rate.  1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in 100,000,000?  Makes a  difference  

    Mom, bless her heart, had a lot of healt problems - real and imaginary.  She was always going to a doctor about something.  On one visit the doctor asked her what was wrong. She gave him a brochure from the lobby and said, "I've got all of these.". He took the brochure and ripped it up and threw it in the waste can. Said, I wish they'd quit putting these out.
