It's that time of the year again.

Commercials are a mirror upon our society.

Growing up in the 1960s, commercials were short, funny and interesting, promising us a better life, how to get your clothes cleaner,
how to save yourself work, make your life easier and more carefree.

Today, most commercials are about:
  • Law-firms wanting you to sign up for class action lawsuits because you sprayed yourself with Round Up weed killer then were surprised you got sick and its the manufacturer's fault.
  • Drugs to treat some terrible malady with 52 side effects that only a doctor can prescribe anyway.
  • The government trying to get you onto socialized healthcare.
  • Five minute long infomercials trying to sell you insurance for when you die.
  • Some firm who specializes in helping you get out of a jam with the IRS for non-payment of taxes.
  • A company willing to buy your home for half what it is worth because you cannot make the mortgage payments.
Says a lot about the decay of America.
