When I wrote the first rant about television commercials over a year ago, I promised I would return to the subject repeatedly. Better late than never, here’s another entry towards keeping that promise.
As I mentioned last time, I’m not a big fan of marketing and advertising. Of course companies need to market and advertise their products.
It’s the way they go about it that I sometimes (in all honesty, make that frequently) find repulsive.
I am not a big fan of advertising and marketing. To the extent they provide information that allows people to reasonable decisions about purchasing useful products, I have no problem. Quite the opposite. Of course, a company should let you know what it offers.
But when they try to force unnecessary products on us, that’s a problem. When they use carefully concealed misdirection – sometimes outright lies – to trick us, that’s a problem.
