Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more.

🎵 You know we have more prescription drugs now
Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad
I can’t watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases
Like: “Do you ever wake up tired in the mornings?”
Oh my god, I have this! Write this down. Whatever it is, I have it
Half the time I don’t even know what the commercial is:
There’s people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean
Like: “That is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.” 🎶

We don’t really get drug and insurance stuff in my country like the US. Product1234, if it can actually be determined, is often some sort of web service that helps by doing something “all in the one place” or some shit.
But as I said, often literally nfi. Like maybe their plan is to have their isolating commercial cause me to go to the effort of Googling them.
I do find US ads funny, though. Its like they’re made by non-humans trying to do humans. Fake children laughter, soft voices, lots of smiles and well-ironed light clothes. Often ends with a slightly slow-mo shot of someone turning to camera and smiling, like that person has anything to do with anything and I know them, a voiceover trying to me like, “Because we’re in this together” or some weird shit.
Like, “Wow. I didn’t know Super United Allied Mega Insurance cared.” sniffle
