People complain about the supposed hierarchy of commercials, but you'd think every fast food place is like 75% attractive white people under 30 if you went off of TV. There's like one black guy working in the recent Wendy's commercials I've seen (not counting Reggie Miller or Reggie Bush) but basically no white people working at the Wendy's a mile from my house. Chic Fil A is the only restaurant that mirrors TV fast food youth/whiteness.
I am curious as to why gatoragman disagrees. All I did was look up some population stats and do some basic math. Care to offer an explanation?
Usually a cool looking sliver fox with an age appropriate smoke-show wife too. They definitely don't put guys that look like Bob Dole in them anymore.
Considering the money they spend on ads, Corps and ad agencies don’t make casual decisions on commercials. Lots of effort/research go into them to ensure effectiveness. It would interesting to see from “Madison Ave” the basis for their ad campaigns.
What about all the super beautiful people who used to make up all the ads? Where will they find work now that normal people make up most ads. They are already skinny. They could starve to death in a few days!
You’d think these companies would employ armies of marketing professionals to see what extracts the most dough from the masses instead of intentionally damaging their investors by farming out the advertising to Berkley interns furiously clicking through what’s left of HuffPo.
Hate to break it to most of the posters here, but if you've reached that post-40 age range, like 80+% of commercials are no longer directed at you, or are designed to make you feel old so you buy stuff to feel young
My wife and I record about everything we watch and fast forward through them. If we watch live mute them. I’m 69 and she’s 68. It doesn’t take a commercial to make us feel old. Lol
