I don't understand how this social nonsense one way or the other sells products? What does wearing a watch have to do with being a man?
Who falls for this junk?

Here's an ad: Hey, who wants to know the time and look good at the same time? You do!

I read something about advertising that said the advertisers are selling to people who already want the product. I don't know if that holds true in today's social climate. They want a position, apparently.

I enjoy a good clever or funny ad, but even those have never inspired me to buy a product. If I want something, I don't look up ads, I look up reviews and cost comparison. Is that crazy?

Gillette and Egard are both playing people. It's what Mad Men (and women) do.

Right but it's not such a a bad thing to have someone at least acknowledging the other side of the issue. The non PC facts about how men die despite our supposedly controlling everything? The facts the world doesn't want to hear about us paying more support than women do in similar situations. ETC. The combat deaths. The Suicides. Not very good oppressors are we?

Wear jewelry? Drive a car? Own a home? Have furniture in it? Have any electronics devices? If I asked you to look around the tv room and kitchen of your home, add your driveway and computer/accounts to it, how many advertised corporate products do you think you'd count?

We're better drivers(on average)

This has nothing to do with what I posted. If I have a product that was advertised, that must mean I bought into the advertising? I keep having to check for the blue star in some of these threads.

I'm confused. I wrote a post inquiring on a few matters ending my sentences with one of them ? things clearly marking it as a query.....and you've responded with another ? thing answering a question.....with another question. If I might try again.

While in your tv room and then kitchen, adding the driveway, personal electronics devices, accounts like amazon.....how many corporate products that spend jillions in advertising do you personally own? <see the lil ? thing.....that's a question. How many means, approximately what is the sheer number of corporate advertised products are at your fingertips today?

Me.....guilty. Know how easy I am.....I'm not a shopper except for grocery stores.....so Amazon is great for me as a consumer. When you purchase an item....it includes a little add on showing you what other products people purchased when they bought the one yer buying. I have been victimized by this several times.....and I still check it!! If it makes sense, I buy it as well. They crush me!

Bought really cool Bluetooth headphones for Xmas for some in my fam. The add on item on Amazon was covers for the headphones. To protect them while traveling. I added that on without even thinking. At least they use the covers on last survey, my guess, the covers will have something else in them by next Christmas.
