Comments on: Over the top advertising http://erraticsouls.com/over-the-top-advertising/ Our Philosophy of Blogging: To write what we will in whatever way we choose, without fear of regret. Our meanderings may wander 'erratically' at times, and there is certainly no certainty we may not change our mind, but one thing is absolute, we will always be honest to ourselves...

That's incredible. They only saw those things for a few moments during the car ride and yet the images stuck in their heads. Makes you really think. Here in the states the number one advertised product on t.v. is prescription medications. It seems like every other commercial is for a different drug. Since we pay for our meds they are treated like products that you can shop for. The commercials tell you to ask your doctor for this drug or that drug. They are expensive, too. Just one of my meds costs over 300 USD a month. If we didn't have insurance I wouldn't be able to afford any of my medications. The other product you see advertised a lot is alcohol. Lots of happy drinking people. We have the puppy/toilet paper commercial, also, but the toilet paper is called Cottenelle. Wow. That’s incredible.
