If anything, when I see any advertisement these days, it convinces me to dislike the product, especially when they try to be obnoxiously hip.

And I realize that me mentioning these proves their efficacy from a word of mouth perspective, be I alone will not be more likely to purchase these products as a result of these ads.

I’m all for equal treatment, regardless of genetic makeup and sexual orientation, but when you use that stuff as a marketing tool, it offends me. Do you think I’m an ant? Do you think that your injection of humanitarian issues is going to make me more likely to buy a fucking therapy service?

I firmly believe that it won’t .

Exactly, the commercials have become so contrived and full of repetitive one channel bass beats. Not to mention, each feels like a bad high school knock off of The Groundlings, wrote each sketch. It makes SNL feel like early season GOT.
