Advert Attack
Went for Nacho Libre today. Saw one of the comercials regarding a credit card before the show began… UOB Vox if I’m not mistaken. So there’s this cool-looking dude with a big wacky grin on his face, with the card in his hand. He’d pass by a shop, spot a suit that he likes, and ‘draw’ it with deliberate hand gestures, and exit the shop wearing it. He’d do the same for a nice sports car. Later he would arrive at a night club in that suit and the sports car, have fun, and put the card in front of the camera (gosh, he was holding it all the time), then someone would narrate: "UOB Vox - Get what you want."
So what was he trying to say? That if you want to be as cool as him you’ll need that card? Well I definitely don’t want to be him at the end of the month. Geez, these advertisements… so innocently misleading. Smart. Let’s see the wise guy draw up some cash to pay for his credit card bills.
And McD’s, you can stop singing about how healthy your food is. Both you and me know what little benefit they have is greatly outweighed by a host of other unwanted stuff. If you really did want us to live longer, that’s only because you want us to consume more of your burgers and french fries, so stop saying you care for us.
And KFC, your genetically-modified chickens… ah, nevermind….
