Random internet ads
Have you ever noticed some of the stupid shit people advertise on sites? Two things stick out in my mind when i think of advertisements.
When I played Fallout 3 and used the USEP guide, I saw this same ad of and over and over again. Myspace and Facebook had it too. It was a picture of a girl with strechmarks on her stomach, and next to it was a picture of a stomach with no strech marks. Does that "strechmark creame" company think we are that retarded? First of all, the picture was in the same room in the exact same spot, leaving me to think its the exact same picture. With photoshop, I can make that chick's belly look like she never had strech marks too. I really hate before and after pictures. A good friend of mine took a before picture of herself before a hair cut. She made it look ratty and had a pissed off look on her face. Then after the picture with her hair cut, she smiled in the picture. I laughed my ass off. That what these damn advertising people do. Billy from Brooklyn didn't loose 50 pounds on the Subway diet... He's just smiling in the after picture! Even if someone looses that much weight and take pictures, Look at their damn hair styles. If it says they lost 50 pounds in just under 3 months, make sure their hair hasn't grown 8 inches.
The other ad that I always see is advertisements for single young nerds. Yes, that is what I said. Apperently companies are trying to prey on the type of male who they percieve as having trouble with the women. The World of Warcraft, Star Wars loving guy is what they are after. So how do they advertise? They have a picture of some chick with nice tits and glasses. I have dated many women with nice tits and glasses. But seriously... is that the only kind of woman that these "matchers" think I want or can get? Yea, having nice tits and glasses is good, but that is a very broad type of woman. So what do they do to make sure that this girl in the picture is what you want? She wears some T-shirt that says "nerd", "Jean-Luc is the only captain for me", "I love my wookie". The girl also usually has pale skin, because she can't have a tan, due to her exessive gaming and Star Wars watching. What if I like the blacker females? I don't see them making advertisements of big breasted black women claiming they like Battlestar Galactica. What if I like small breasted white women? If they really wanted to get me, they can get a skinny, small breasted woman, wrapped in gauss from armpit to convienient short skirt lenth,along with orange hair. Then when I meet her, she can kick the shit out of me. Now that I think of it, that's actually pretty hot... I guess the point I am trying to make not all women have C and D cups and an hourglass figure. Is that the type of girl I go for? Maybe. But I don't always go for that. I don't limit myself. I hate these asshole advertisers that assume they know what I want.
