TRUTH? IN ADVERTISING? Uh DUH!
Poking fun at seriously ridiculous ads and posing blunt questions about them make listening to these earnest self righteous proclamations a whole lot more entertaining. You may laugh or cringe, shake your head, maybe sigh a lot. But there will be a whole big bunch of stuff that you won’t buy, and won’t recommend either. One of my earlier favorites was the one that said that a product containing something from a jellyfish might rejuvenate your brain. My comeback was: “When was the last time you had an intelligent conversation with a jellyfish? …The first time…?” I mean, why would anyone think the insides of a possibly poisonous sea animal would be brain enhancing? But the ad touts it loudly! And apparently the product is selling (although I’ve noticed that the Jellyfish is no longer featured?)
