Why are the teenagers on TV so annoying, and why do real teenagers seem to emulate them? Or vise-versa, for this time I have no opinion on whether or not it is TV then kids, or kids then TV. All I know is that they make me want to throw up.
Comercials, tools of the devil. Some times they make me want to buy stuff I don't need, want, or even know how to use. Sometimes they just make me want to throw up. Worst of all are the comercials that we show to our children, and especially the ones we show to our teenagers.
I hate the Corn Pops kids, all of them. But especially the one who can't let his Grandma enjoy a bowl of Corn Pops without hounding her to give it to him. Didn't this young man learn how to respect his elders? What is his problem? His Grandma loves him and has cared for him since his birth and what respect does she get? The food taken right out of her mouth. An what about the rest of the Corn Pops kids? CHILL OUT, it's just a cereal! Why do they have to lie to little kids, blackmail thier brothers and sisters and make fools of themselves? Because of the acursid POPS! How about those snotty Apple Jacks kids, huh? Thier friends and family TRY to understand them, and thier passion for the evil cereal, but what do they get for all thier intervention? Guff. You'd think from the way those non-apply jacks make them act, they might contain addictive drugs.
I really hate the "Heather" girl from the chicken comercial. You know the one I mean, the one who want's to change her name to "Feather". Anyway, she tears around her house with an attitude, ordering her father to recycle the paper he's reading (which she lovingly rips out of his hands), and refusing to eat her food. Does her father give her the spanking she deserves? No, he loves her so much he tries to change the chicken for her. And I be she still gives him hell.
The Classics: Why can't the rabbit have some Trix? Those snots would rather see the rabbit kill him self then give him the Trix. Why can't he have the damn Trix? I had a hamster once and I used to feed him Trix. And why do the kids have to steal the Lucky Charms? Why can't they ask thier moms to buy them? Or better yet, go out and get a paying job and but thier own stinking Lucky Charms. Speaking of stealing, what is up with Cookie Crisp? That little crook has been getting 5 to 10 since I could change the cannel, and he never gives up. Well, I suppose never giving up is a positive quality anyway.
Why is the "villian" in these comercials always a well meaning adult? Foil Mom and Dad, make fun of your teachers, vanquish the Lunch lady, all in the name of a product! And why are the "heros" snotty, selfish brats that I would like to kick in the fanny?
I suppose that by now I have just about ever major corporation the the country angry at me, so at this time I would like to state that I mean no offence to any of the makers, sellers, or advertisers of these products. Rather, I am attacking the way you choose to portrait the kids in your commercials, as selfish evil children who want nothing but your product. Do you get some sort of sick high from that? Also, I would have used the the little copyright symbol next to the names of all your products, but I don't know where on my keyboard that is.
