Random Morning Thought…

Characters NEVER die in commercials. Why is that? Whether it’s marketing candy bars or depicting flu and cold as some furry fictitious creature getting hit by a speeding truck, there is always that scene at the end of the ad showing the character dejectedly saying, “I’m okay!” or emitting some type of a grunt (but still alive).

I’d rather have Stallone sell me something with pieces of cerebellum hitting the camera lens..

It’s funny how we’ve no problem blowing people away with flamethrowers and machine guns for film entertainment (I was just watching Rambo 4 last night – a delightful parade of carnage, albeit accompanied by D acting), but play with the possibility of losing money from the target demographic on TV, and suddenly peace is a virtue and every life – valued.
