Voodoo Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Not much of a "commercial"? Doesn't even name, insinuate or reference any product or service? When they're not selling you a product, you are the product. Lump those types of "ads" in PR and propaganda. That right there is some grade A propaganda though.

It's non stop up here, and down your way. I listen to a fair bit of talk radio from both sides of the border. Mostly right leaning and some heavily left. I get the message, and agree with it. I just like to call out propaganda, no matter where it comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just so much of this nonsense. There is an ad that runs on one of the stations I listen to that offers up a guy in Paris, trying to find a restaurant. It then morphs into a PSA to return to regular life by getting vaccinated. I want to reach through my device and choke the living shit out of whoever came up with this. No, fuckers, life was normal before you cunts locked down and went covid cockoo. There are so many examples of this type of social engineering and PR bs, but it especially infuriates me when its done by government.

Like the Covid vaccine PSA? it’s the truth too. Just not for the right reasons I reserve commercial designation for a company selling you something, not pissing in your ear and telling you it’s raining.

I won't even get into the COVID vaccine PSA's and whether they were "truthful." Keep in mind typically "PSA's" are broadcast for free. If you pay to get a message out its more of a commercial advertising a stance. What qualifies as a public service announcement? Public Service Announcements, or PSAs, are short messages on radio, television, and/or social media that are disseminated for free in order to raise awareness of, and change public attitudes and behaviors towards a social issue.

That’s propaganda IMO. Don't care what the message is, I prefer to think for myself. if I took the government line to heart I’d be driving a Tesla while eating a beyond meat burger on my way to the library to listen to drag time story hour. I really hope to tune it all out come the new year Edited December 27, 2023 by Voodoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pure propoganda BS and to try and pass it off as some sort of "commercial of the year" is just an attention seeking title to spread said BS. Not buying into this shit at all.

I'm not trying to stretch anything. My position is if you pay for airtime you are advertising a certain position. No different than a candidate paying for an ad. Is a political ad a commercial or advertisement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating meat is killing the planet. I'm evil for thinking a dude with a pecker can't swim with real women. Usually without accreditation. Apple at least puts there logo in the ads and the Church of latter Day Saints steps up for their beliefs.
