Often we don't even understand them... what is it all about?! They're not aimed at our group, that's for sure! Obviously it pays, otherwise they would not continue to target large groups of impulsive buyers that believe anything that comes on their TV screen!<br />Another way of brainwashing the masses...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-53772219370259817472020-10-23T16:29:19.513-07:002020-10-23T16:29:19.513-07:00You're not missing out on the adverts.
