Re:Free Thinkers Declare War on the RIAA (Score 1)

Loved your post, mcc. The part about advertising reminded me of a comment my roommate, Brandon, made yesterday. My other roommate, Chris, and I were commenting on a commercial (the Duracell commercial about a kid whose heart stopped). Brandon likes to watch a lot of TV and he likes movies, too. My point is that he argued against our criticizm on advertising methods by saying, "Commercials are there to get you to buy the product." Then he defended the abundant presence of commercials (oversaturated in my opinion) by saying, "Commercials are there to be funny. I know people who will watch TV just to watch the commercials..."

Ugh! What is this country coming to? We have people who watch are commercials for entertainment!

We're a country with no spine.
