What happened to those little white dots in the top right hand corner of your TV screen just before a commercial break. I don't think I've seen them for years, or do they just appear on terrestrial TV now?
Something that made me chuckle the other day is watching a TV ad for a Sony Bravia TV - showing the superior colour and picture clarity I'll get if I nip down to Dixons and spend a thousand quid. Of course, the picture clarity and colour I was seeing was only as good as my current TV (duh), but I guess some people must fall for it.
They must be the same people who fall for the somewhat vague claim that the latest skin cream will "help reduce the appearance of fine lines". In the same way that politicians 'help' 'reduce' the 'appearance' of being utterly useless. You have to ask yourself why ads don't say "This cream will make you younger - fact." Because they can't, that's why.
About Me
- Norbert Panhandle
- Like many people, I have thoughts, questions, opinions and ramblings filling up my head. I have had an urge to share my pointless (and sometimes not so pointless) mutterings with the folks on the Interweb for quite sometime now. I have finally got round to doing it. Feel free to enjoy, question, take offence or ignore me completely. Any of the above will leave me truly satisfied.
