It makes me sad
The adverts on TV which are about mystery and mysticism, togetherness and belonging, being part of something greater than yourself - in short the ones which are, to me at least, the most moving and powerful and heart rending to the point that I desperately want to like whatever it is they're advertising ... are all for stupid things like cars, or the newest pocket computer, or some other electronic or polluting gadget.
I do wonder if the style of advertising suggests that many people feel a void in their life and, as the producers know that the product itself can't actually fill that void, they hire smart advertising folks to try to convince people that it will.
I also wonder, if that were the case, would that be a positive thing or a negative one.
