Have you paid attention to television commercials lately? I used to do my best to tune them out like most people, but I recently noticed something odd. It seems as if almost every food commercial I've seen in the past few months involves a storyline of people FIGHTING over food.
People arguing over who gets the last treat or stealing each other's soda. Breakfast foods running away trying to avoid being devoured, followed by a commercial involving three jocks yelling "Beef! Pork! Chicken!" who then stare scornfully at their companion who sings "vegetable medley!"
I haven't started keeping a scientific log book or anything to track the numbers, but it has to be a HUGE majority.
Now I have to ask. What is it that these media masterminds think they are training us for? Is someone in some Madison Avenue advertising firm predicting that food riots will be a hot new trend? Do they want to make sure that if Americans riot over food, it will be THEIR client's product that has the hordes of ravenous Americans tearing at each other's throats?
I'm going to start keeping a log tomorrow, but I wanted to post this and ask anyone on this message board who happens to be in the advertising field WHAT THE HECK IS THIS ABOUT?
