Sometimes I miss commercials

[Pohemi]

That one surprises me a bit, as both of those guys were fairly famous. I guess times change, but it's rare to get an A-lister these days to do any commercials, much less for Midas, etc.

Prescription drug and medical commercials are what really ruined network tv. There was a minute long tv ad running about curved erections the other day while I was watching cable at my mom's place with Grandma.

Kaido, you lose 10 humanity points for posting with such a title. Humanity is more dumb with commercials than without.

I don't disagree with the italicized. I haven't watched television or listened to radio in years, and a lot of my reasoning is because I can't stand the advertising.

Most of them are annoying (and not effective on you if you understand marketing practices), though I do admit that there are some rather amusing ones once in a while. I just don't see/hear them these days.

Great example of another commercial I don't want to see. Good riddance to network TV and commercials.

Fun facts:

On April 24, 1963, her single "I Will Follow Him" soared to number one on the U.S. charts. She recorded the song in early January 1963 and it was released on January 22, when she was only 14. March became the youngest female artist with a number one hit, at 15, in late April 1963, a record that still stands for the Billboard Hot 100. The recording also reached number one in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and Scandinavia, although it failed to chart in the UK.

Recorded 60 years ago! Remastered video:

jeard ot years later in the uk. it was about 45-46 years ago. there was a neighbourhood girl the year ahead at me at our village school. I hardly remember her name but remember it began with a J and she was one of the prettiest girls then. I've oft wondered what she's up to. every time I heard that song there after it reminded me of her.

My minor is in filmmaking...I always wondered why they didn't use more of my favorite older songs in movies (ex. how Guardians of the Galaxy did). However, the psychology behind it is pretty simple: it's because we're emotional creatures! So when we hear new songs, we usually associate an emotional imprint of how we're feeling at the time, who we're with, where we're at in life, etc. So maybe you associate a song with your first kiss or with your dog dying or with a hard breakup or some other positive or negative event, so they don't want people bringing in pre-associated memories into a new movie!

Which is also why the Guardians movies could get away with older music, a lot of the current moving-going population is too young to have heard those songs, and for older people, the songs were so long ago that they may not have strong emotional memory connections to them anymore, so it's just a fun retro song! And the reason is, of course, money haha. New movies, new music, more movie sales, more music sales!
