I believe television is a good way to relax, entertain, learn but its also a powerfull tool to advertise. Most commercials are to sell the viewer something or to catch a certain groups attention. For example for the past week I have being watching T.V. from 12-2 and gotten a break and watched again from 6-8. Its just so interesting that commercials change so drastically. For example in channel 43( fx-w)the day time commercials are meant more for stay home moms. In contrast to the evening they are more general.
There’s a commercial about a lady throwing away her old mop and buying a swiffer to replace it. But in the background they put a song, that says, ” loves hurts yeah yeah” and the lady is crying as if she is hurt to break up with a mop. What catches my attention is that, that floor is clean already and they only clean a small part. How sure can I be that it will help me clean a 3 bedroom apartment. They dont mention that if each room requires a new sheet to clean the place. In reality that is meant for an upper-class family that can afford to buy those type of cleaning equipments or for someone that finds it diffucult to wash a mop.
The second commercial I saw in the evening was about a kit-kat Chocolate bar. Everyone is in an office and all of sudden you start hearing this crunchy sound. They first break the bar in half and then they take a bite and for evry bit its a crunchy sound. Which is suppose to help them take a break off work. Of course the song is so easy to remember and towards the end they really emphasized KIT- KAT BAR!. If someone who just came home from a long day at work and want a break they should just take a kit-kat bar and there your stress is out. So, if I need 3 breaks in one day I will feel more relax if a eat a kit-kat bar. After I eat it I go back to my desk and sit down. Eventually after sometime I will need to eat subways everyday and drink only water with the extra weight I will gain.
