Insensitive commercials make us ruder ?
Those sub-idiotic TV commercials are getting more and more
ugly, offensive , and mean spirited. Have you seen this one: a fairly
good looking young man is noticed by a fairly attractive young lady.
But Ugg ! When he smiles, she sees that he could use the services of
a good dentist.His only hope for those crooked teeth is Delta Dental !
I guess if you are almost attractive, no dentist would
just love to prove his skills on you - unless he sees the cash !
Is there a weirdo dentist out there who just loves his work ? Who
would just lOVE to improve your smile ? Are there weirdo doctors
who would just lOVE to cure you of whatever disease afflicts you ?
Are there weirdo teachers who would just LOVE to teach you ?
By the way WHO is teaching the kids manners nowadays ?
" Hey you have a fat butt ! " a punk shouts out the window of the
Cranston St. bus. The driver scolds him. I reflect: The epidemic
of bad manners is more repulsive than the epidemic of obesity.
The punk calls another kid at school " fat butt " or
inspired by the TV commercial " buck teeth " . Buck Teeth or
Fat Butt was daydreaming of being beautiful. But there is another
way to get attention, to be a celebrity. The next day he returns to
school with a gun : " See ME on TV tonight, assholes ! "
