And Let It Burn Down

[stalkersrage]

I hate corporations. Mostly, I guess, I hate the advertising that corporations feel they need to spend billions on every single year. For example, at work we have to run a few actual commercials before we get into movie trailers and then the film. One is almost always for Pepsi (or sponsored by, such as the "Doll" ads I'm sure most people who have been to our theatres have seen in the last 3 years), and recently we have added stupid shit like V-Cast phones from Verizon. Not only are the commercials always the dumbest concepts (miniaturizing yourself to fit onto the phone's display? Ha! God that is so funny!) Not to mention the fact that I hate Pepsi ANYWAY, but their ads are so goddamn stupid. Like the newest one, where cavemen are making a Pepsi commercial, and they grunt out "Pepsi. Food. Good." It's so frigging inane and it is far from funny. Although I am in love with Coca-Cola, I don't necessarily find their commercials any more involved. They are also pretty stupid. But at the same time, if I actually had to pay to see a movie, and on top of it had to sit through the same damn commercials that I had to sit through at home, I'd be bullshit. It's so retarded that movie theatres have ads for cars at the beginning. Or soda, even - if someone is thirsty they'll get a fucking drink. And why, in a MOVIE THEATRE, where cell phones should be OFF or NOT IN AT ALL, would we run ads telling people to BUY A CELL PHONE!! Why advertise for something that we neither sell nor allow? Corporations are stupid as shit.
Not just the corporations that MADE the commercial, this also includes the dumb ass business that decided we were required to run them on our movies. I think big business should just die off - quickly, like Peter Jennings. Yeah, that's right - I went there.

Later.
