I watched an ad on youtube the other day and it was basically showing the story of an asian girl with a funny sounding name who could never get people to use it correctly, and I was thinking it was a compelling story. And I was kind of aware in the back of my head like "this is an advertisement, where could this possibly be going to suck money out of me?" but I was willing to see where it went.
It was trying to sell me some crap personalized jewelry on etsy.
What kind of soulless husk of a human do you have to be to write something like that to hawk some random garbage you no doubt give not a single shit about? What the fuck is this hell we live in?
I don't understand how people tolerate drowning in ads in every facet of their lives. In The Before Times, I had to pass through Las Vegas for travel a few times and it was absolutely shocking that there were ads and billboards everywhere you looked. Like, unless you stared at the ground, you would have an ad in your field of vision. :agony-yehaw:
Say what you want about the DPRK, at least their subways aren't plastered with ads on every possible surface.
