Frosted mini wheats commercials

[BenwaHakubi]

Annoy the crap out of me. It's targeting parents saying feed this to kids and they will magically do better in school. They show kids studying and enjoying class- never gonna happen. How stupid are parents when they buy cereal because it somehow magically keeps kids focused? Kids have trouble focusing because class is so damn boring, not because they are hungry.

Here is part of the ad in case you dunno what I am talking about: http://fmw.kelloggcompany.com/study-hall /

The real trick is to make sure that the drug companies convince every parent in the world to put their kid on Ritalin.

It's stupid, but it's the kind of stupid that makes you chuckle a little at how stupid it is, BEFORE you facepalm.

Now, the Strawberry Mini-Wheats cereal, on the other hand...

"They made me taste just like strawberry
You're gonna wanna get a taste of me
You know my one side is made with whole wheat
Now meet my frosting, hit it my singers please..."

MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI WHEEAATTSS

It's called suggestive and subliminal advertising. It almost never as anything to do with the product, but instead focuses on inciting pleasurable sensations to cause the subject to associate those sensations with the product.

I agree that it's stupid. Most adults are above it. But many, many kids are being indoctrinated into this culture of stupidity that is being shoved down their untwitting throats. When you were born around it and it's seemingly always been there it seems normal, although it is far from it.

It's just the inundation of stupifecation we are being subjected to by the eugenic elite.

Exactly. Consumerism sucks, it's buy buy buy, money money money , sell sell sell. Greedy bastards annoy me.

Yes, but to say or think that rampant consumerism isn't the solution to every problem out there is un-American. I'll probably end up back in that cell again if I don't shut up now.
