The Ad said

Truth in advertising. Oh, Really?

           The ad said buy this car
         and be the coolest man alive
         So when everyone sees you
        They'll know you have arrived

            The ad said buy this Razor
    and chicks will slide across your face
    It's guaranteed to attract the b*****s
         of the entire human and race

       The ad said buy these Tampons
      and you'll never menstruate again
      You can eat anything you want to
           and still attract hot men

           The ad said buy this cereal
         and your kids will reign supreme
              their IQ's will quadruple
         and their eyes shoot laser beams

         The ad said buy this smart phone
        And you'll be plugged in far and wide
           So you can watch porn movies
          When the traffic stops your ride

           The ad said buy this medication
           and your stomach won't explode
           and you won't need that tattoo
           for your a*s that says wide load

The ad said buy what ever the f**k we're selling
          Because we're smarter than you
           You're a stupid low life peasant
             So we tell you what to do

          You can work for minimum wage
          We know you can't afford to live
            You can still have everything
            With the credit that we give

         We'll tie you to our credit lines
                You'll never get away
            Cause you fell into the trap
              of a 21st century slave

and to think i once wanted to go into advertising... although this is hilarious on the surface, it's sad how it's all very true, and it's pretty disgusting how media rules our lives in just about every way... great write Baby :)

Thank you Lina

Very astute. In my honest opinion, ad companies percieve consumers as cattle, who are expected to blindly believe their...um.."product propaganda". Just sayin'.
Great write.

Wow and wow again this is funny and serious all at the same time and OH SO TRUE. It's good to see we are not all asleep and being lead like sheep to the slaughter. I absolutely love the way you write and the subject matter. The raw honesty and the raw unadulterated TRUTH.

On one level, a very humourous write, but on a deeper level, not so funny at all, as it is quite true.

Haha this is so true
We're ruled by all sorts of media.
Unknowingly we've become parasites feeding off the information they give us and living life according to their means.
