Enough!
As my job is an essential service, I am out of the house 5 days a week, working. As I drive 11 miles each way to work each day, I appreciate that there are not too many cars on the roads, though there are still idiots that think that 85 mph in a 60 mph zone is a grand idea. The line ups at grocery stores are a pain, as are the shortages of some items but it certainly isn’t GUM Department Store, circa 1975!
I consider myself blessed, as I still have a job and have guaranteed hours and hopefully, enough seniority to avoid layoff down the road. Besides, I know who is in charge and I have a relationship with Him, and that is all I truly need!
OMG!!! Yes.
Every company is advertising “oh, how caring WE are”!!!!
It is sickening.
Is someone going to buy a Subaru because their ads seem to reflect that they “care” more than does Ford or Toyota for instance? And if I am looking for a car, is that sort of message what I really care about??? Noooooooooooooooooo.
You can just see the marketing departments working nights trying to come up with some virtue-signalling tie-in to the WuFlu crisis. “Look, if we come across as more compassionate than our competitors, our study shows we’ll increase sales by up to 10 percent. So let’s get busy, people, and show how freakin’ compassionate we are Maybe something with a puppy.
Everyone loves puppies, don’t they?”
It’s the “Karen’s” They are behind those ads. If i’m lying I’m dying.
At least these companies haven't adopted America's "new normal" (my God, such an ugly, trite phrase) motto that has replaced (hopefully only temporarily) "The land of the free and the home of the brave": "Better Safe Than Sorry".
(acknowledgement to Dennis Prager for that one)
Anything to exploit the kept ignorant. “No payments for 80 months”
They are also propaganda.
Im waiting for another We Are The World song. It would fit right in with the agenda.
I have started muting my tv every time one of those assnine commercials come on!”
I couldn’t agree more. Those things are almost as bad as the non-stop “ATTENTION !!!! IF YOU HAVE MEDICARE ....” Both the Mute button and the On/Off switch are getting quite a workout lately. :-)
Because we’re all in this together.
Sometimes I think that's why the piano, an ugly-sounding instrument if ever there was one, was invented.
“I dont have TV and have never seen a Coronavirus ad.”
My TV is off a lot, but since I cut the cord on cable and went OTA, I’ve enjoyed watching Comet TV (a lot of old B-grade sci fi flicks & other “oddball” stuff) and Antenna TV (syndicated old shows like Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace, Alice, etc.). Now if only those channels would get rid of the asinine COVID-19 and Medicare commercials ....
I'll be watching Jeopardy with my wife and one of those obnoxious ads comes on, full of young (or young-looking) happy people joyously having the time of their lives, and say to her, "Gee, I wish I had genital herpes too!"
Haha...guess I don’t watch enough tv
Just stop.
Please.
“We” are not in this together at all.
I HATE these commercials.
The attitude of virtually every doctor and nurse is something on the order of, "if you could see the things I see, you too would favor the mandatory wearing of full suits of medieval armor." And a condom, too, of course.
Exactly, the whole entertainment/media complex has been trying to tear down the Man that over 60 million people voted for in the last election.
Together, My Ass! F ‘Em!
“Those ads have been on for at least 1 month.”
Yes, but irritation takes to get to the point of “Dear God, take me now! I can’t put up with it any more!”
