random thought #1
commercials for hygiene products are destructive to our popular culture, and they have to be stopped. they brainwash you into thinking your skin is smelly and scaly and utterly hideous & the only remedy is the use of their particular skin care product. they make you think your hair is a gnarled mass of dried spaghetti unless you use their particular conditioner. these ads cause mass insecurity to permeate the nation which is why, i think, television shows about stupid people - court TV, police shows, etc - are so popular. we need to feel superior to something after watching those commercials that make us feel so inadequate. the clincher is that the sponsors of these stupid people shows are skin care products. so its a vicious cycle. the upshot of all this is that the nations declining literacy rate can be blamed entirely on moisturizing cream.
