"Stoopid" new trend in commercials?

Simplex3 · 09-25-2005, 09:28 PM

Is there a trend now where commercials try and make you think that giving you what you ask for is some sort of great achievment? The new Jay Wolfe Acura commercial where they say they're different because if you go there you can get the car you want. The idiots they show say "REALLY?". Yeah, because every other car dealer in town is going to tell YOU what car you're going to buy. You don't get the choice.

Then you have the KFC "Wing Station" commercials. "You get to pick the sauce you want", like up until this promotion the sauce was picked by the zit-faced moron behind the register.

WTF is with this? Have we been conditioned to believe that purchasing what we want AND getting it is somehow unique?
