On One Condition*

Maybe this shouldn’t have surprised me as much as it did, but it did, nonetheless.  Just browsing through GMC’s website (on which I create a million other posts regarding GMC’s current status) and made my way to the bottom of the website when I encountered this - a list of at least a dozen disclaimers - JUST ON THE HOME PAGE!

I mean, seriously.  Can’t we say what we mean anymore?  Must EVERYTHING come with disclaimers??

The answer to the latter?  Yes.

Not only do advertisers try to bend every advertising fact and figure, but they are marketing to a group of, apparently, mindless buffoons who can’t see through the “adspeak”.

Because we are a people who can’t think for ourselves.  We must be TOLD that coffee is hot and that animals may bite.  And that if we buy a GMC truck, we will easily be on our way to owning our own cattle ranch on 400 acres.  When did we become these idiots?

That’s my thought for today.

Where’s the beef!?
