It is difficult to bring to mind a commercial seen in the last ten years which actually provided useful information. I guess public health information about COVID counts.
Beer commercials are supposed to be stupid. Car commercials just are stupid. Insurance commercials, if they are not being inane, it seems like everyone touts the 15% that you can save by switching. But that's just the 15% that you can save by switching from anyone to anyone -- if you have a reason to switch and then optimize your coverage after switching. Political commercials portray one side of every issue, shaving the truth so closely that every statement is a lie. "You owe it to yourself" or "You deserve a break today". Yeah, yeah, sure thing, everyone knows that I am the pure and perfect product of human evolution, definitely should buy your product, whether or not I can afford it.
The ones that bother me the most right now are the ones that must be sponsorted by Amazon asking us to tell the government not to take away our Amazon Prime. I wish I knew what that was all about. Someone probably has an actual idea worth arguing rationally about there.
Googled that one. Good info. As I'd suspected, total bollocks.
"The CCIA ads are designed to drive public opinion against the American Innovation and Choice Online (AICO) Act, a bipartisan bill that would ban some common anti-competitive behaviors by tech giants that harm third-party sellers using their platforms, like ranking their own company products higher on their platforms."
