Have you seen the new Obama Victory Plate commercial? Particularly amusing is the image of the white family sitting in the living room. The husband exclaims “We never thought this day would come,” to which the wife retorts, “and now we own a piece of history.” As if this isn’t ridiculous enough , following them are the token black folks who say “Our generation has truly spoken”.
This is the dumbest commercial I have seen in quite some time. Following close behind is the in-color Obama gold coin commercial. I love the “you have x amount of days to get your plate and then the ink will be destroyed!” It strikes me as a bit odd that Obama’s profile is in color. As if we may forget that Obama is a black man?!
WHAT?
The DOW is taking a nose dive. Millions of people are without work and on the verge of losing their homes. The financial world as we know it is crashing down around us. And these advertisers are threatening people with ink being destroyed?
Perhaps the problem rests with me. Perhaps my priorities are out of line. My friend Jennifer pointed out (quite sarcastically) that the DOW will eventually rise again. People will eventually find work (or migrate to Canada). But I will never forgive myself if I do not jump at the opportunity to purchase “my own piece of history.!”
These are the last things people need to be purchasing right now. While consumer confidence needs to be rebuilt, this is also a time in which people need to be focused on saving. There is no time left to prepare, as the rainy days are here.
My favorite part…”but wait!”
(for those I don’t know…that was sarcasm.)
