jmohme Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 There are so many really bad commercials on the air now. What commercials make you not want to buy a product? I'll start. Liberty Mutual Insurance. They should immediately fire their entire advertising department! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only been since President Trump was elected, maybe a couple years before. I remember a thread on GT first bringing it to light a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what is on tv these days, and in print ads, they must be 75% of the population. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Anything with ads that show men as bumbling idiots. There’s one showing the idiot husband flooding the kitchen as he try’s to fix a sink and he doesn’t even know how long they have lived there. The woman is an expert in everything because she has a phone with contact numbers and apps for everything. And she knows EXACTLY how long they have lived there. I don’t even remember what they were selling. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I constantly have a remote in my hand. Seriously. One minute I'm watching a nice episode of animal Planet, the next I've got some Idiot SCREAMING at me 3 times the volume the TV just Was!!! "CLICK" MUTE!!!! Also somebody should tell these Clowns that make up all these comercials that the Black population of America is 14.2%. NOT 65%, and Not 50% bi-racial. No. I'm not a racist. The FALSE advertising that Promotes that LIE is Racist. AND, I immediately Mute any Add like that and will never buy the product. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the average American family is not a bisexual black man in an open marriage to a Chinese gender fluid person with a Hispanic non-binary foster child?

I always find it amusing, but also incredibly sad, when I see someone, who I know is intelligent, point out an obvious truth and follow it with an assurance that they're not racist. What have we become? Why are we so afraid of being considered racist by people who want to destroy us? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It's not just commercials where they make the dude look like a bumbling idiot. That is pretty much everything on tv these days. Can you imagine the pushback if we brought back the old tv show, "FATHER KNOWS BEST" 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Can you imagine the response to an ad describing a retailer or profession as a "white owned small business"? Yet here is just a tiny sample of something that's "not at all racist". https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/a33561639/black-owned-businesses/ https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/a32731286/black-owned-businesses/ https://www.nbcnews.com/select/news/black-owned-business-guide-ncna1258948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disgusting, and I truly believe a combination of the media and the Govt. are both orchestrating the False perspective of our great Country. The Really funny part of is, if there is one......90% of the shows these misleading comercials are on, Blacks wouldn't be caught Dead Watching let alone using the friggin Product!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
