Favorite Commercials

[Spanky]

Yeah, cigarette commercials, ha, "Call for Phillip Moooooris".

I remember one TV ad from way back, it showed a pro football player lighting up after a big game in the end zone.  Just relaxing with a smoke after a game, ha. 

I'd forgotten LSMFT, that's so funny.  I think the Marlboro man was one of the last cigarette commercials. 

I had a friend who was in WWII.  He told me his company was visited by an MD, who gave a talk, emphasizing that there was no evidence whatsoever that smoking was harmful to their health. 

Thirty years ago, commercials were dominated by consumer products, from washer/dryers, to soap.  Now, the commercials are filled with ads aimed at economic hardship or loans.  Safety in Gold, Payday loans, class action lawsuits, lump sums for drawn out payoffs, reverse mortgages, money saving websites like Jet.com.  From a consumer economy to a credit economy, money for sale.  Swear there is one for loans for people overdue on their payday loans.  Commercials do reflect the populations' needs and wants.  They are often a revealing look at current society.  This is your brain on drugs.
