Random Thoughts

I think the milk people started it. There were these “got milk” ads that promoted milk. They weren’t selling Berkeley Farms milk or any specific brand of milk. It was just milk. Buy milk. There must be some sort of milk mafia that’s got a vested interest in milk as a whole (no pun intended). Then eggs and pork got in on the act. “Give eggs a break” they told us (translation: “eat more eggs”). And pork wanted us to know it was good stuff, too. It’s the other white meat. So buy more pork, please. Now wine is hopping on the bandwagon. I just saw an ad plastered on a wall promoting Italian wine. I can see where this is heading.

Some ads of the future:

“Drive a Car! It’s easier than walking.”

“Wear Shoes! They make your feet look good.”

“Brik-a-brak! Because you need more clutter.”

Ah, the future looks bright indeed…
