Most of the adverts exaggerate the benefits you're meant to get by buying the product. Why can't they be more honest?
For instance:
Do you have a big backside?
Our corset will only help make it look smaller.
For real results try going on a diet.

Did you used to be in the advertising business, Victor? These are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
No ... not directly. I was in management in a large organisation and knew some people in marketing and advertising.
DeleteGod bless you, Martha.
Having worked nearly 10 years in television ad sales, I sure enjoyed these; in particular: "We do our best. Nature does the rest."
ReplyDeleteTRUTH in advertising at last! That should go right hand-in-hand with 'ethics in journalism.'
It's surprising how many adverts on UK TV exaggerate the benefits of the products, Mevely. So I thought I'd restore the balance with my own adverts.
DeleteGod bless.
I always thought the advertisement volume goes up so you can still hear it while in the bathroom! LOL Thanks again for the good chuckles, Victor!
ReplyDeleteGood thought, Terri. I never thought about that. Glad I made you smile.
DeleteGod bless you.
I am not a fan of ads and tend to ignore them. To me, they are a waste of my time. I use to know someone who worked on ads and it all seems fake. Buy this, buy that. No thank you, goodbye. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the price of the products would reduce a lot if there were no adverts, Bill. Some of the adverts are very elaborate using celebrities which must cost a lot.
DeleteGod bless.
You may not have a future on Madison Avenue.
ReplyDeleteThe video was funny as Not-Heaven!
I'm so glad you liked the video, JoeH.
DeleteGod bless you.
Somehow I saw this coming, Victor!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I hope you enjoyed it though.
DeleteGod bless, Lulu.
If the advertising people followed your 'honesty' policy there would be very few products sold.
ReplyDeleteAh ... the consumer society. I am confused as to which brand of toothpaste to use.
DeleteGod bless you, Kathy.
Ingenious Victor!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being you and cheering up people like me.
You are a true angel~
God Bless~
I am so glad when people enjoy my writings, Jan. Thank you for your encouragement.
DeleteGod bless you.
It's funny but the advertisement volume goes up every time I go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I'm sure they are recorded deliberately loud, Jan. It is so irritating.
DeleteGod bless you, Jan.
