Problem is we've gotten smarter. They cannot deceive us with lies & half-truths anymore, and we don't care about celebraties either. So I figure it's just advertisers out of ideas trying *anything* to make their ads work - and they're just going through their obnoxious & confusing phase.

id rather be bullshitted with contrived pleasantries than be subjected to much more of this sledgehammer approach.

It's because we tune them out. Same reason they fscking blast the volume on the commercials, even though they claim that they don't.

I just watch the History Channel, and the Discovery channel and a movie on one of the movie networks anymore. Well, and I watch The Unit, but that's it. Discovery and History don't get those stupid blasting commercials thankfully.

If there were no commercials/ads, then how would I know what to buy when I'm at the grocery store?
