Mad Men

How-to-start-an-advertising-agency

I’d like to nominate the people who make tv commercials as a bunch of irritating condescending lying cunts.

They aim to appeal to those with the least intelligence because they’re the easiest to manipulate. Either they’re using someone’s voice that I can’t stand, like Brian Blessed, or they choose to play some pop song that I find particularly annoying. For some peculiar reason they’re obsessed with showing close-ups of bare feet, as though this would persuade you to go out and buy whatever it is that they’re advertising. The only thing it makes me want to buy is socks and shoes to cover them up. They have no scruples about telling you about how healthy some food product is, although it tastes like shite and will probably set you on the road to diabetes.

The Advertising Standards Authority proudly proclaims that it is a self-regulatory and non-statutory organisation and cannot interpret or enforce legislation. So what fucking use is it? Cunts.
