Have you bought your happiness yet?
Written on Friday, January 27, 2006 by Rohan Koshy
I happened to go to Mcdonald's the other day after a long time...so i decide to have a Mcveggie and was in the dillema of whether to consume 500 hundred calories of a large coke when i saw that i could buy my happiness? You got that right folks! buy it today for just 75 bucks... now that's a deal ain't it.
There's a poster that says "Buy happiness for your entire family".It's a "happy" meal and it costs 75 bucks... i mean "Buy happiness for your entire family"?????....Not just you! your entire family!...... C'mon.
This really isn't anything against Mcdonald's (Though they're burgers are
ridiculously overpriced and small)..it has to do with what advertising does to you..
Consider this... a couple are in a car romancing when she softly kisses his neck... the next day in college she waits with bated breath... when she sees him she moves over and gives him room... but he takes one look.. then looks at the band-aid around his neck and then decides to ignore her.... so what's the moral of the story... all you women out there must have extremely soft lips because your boyfriend (who you spent the night with) WILL ditch you... so go get this lip balm...it'll save your troubles... Brilliant!(This ad airs on most major channels btw)
It's so subtle you have to give them credit... they don't tell you that your inadequate directly...they'll tell your subconcious that your not gonna keep a boyfriend if you dont buy it...This is as much true with men who somehow are supposed to be alpha males who can be bill gates and stallone all at once...
I hate it... i absolutely do... enough women get affected by this sort of shit...
Unfortunately most women think (subconciously) that if your actually ideal weight your fat.... and advertising attacks these most basic fears of inadequacy to sell...
i don't have a problem with the adverts themselves but with how much of this negative advertising is there...it's a complete bombardment to your subconcious every second.... notice how much negative advertsing you take in everyday and you'll begin to realise why teens have such a fear of inadequacy...so the next time you see this just observe the underlying theme and then you'll be immune...
