Commercials…again
Saturday, May 10th, 2008There is a commercial that I’ve seen on TV that irks me. It is not one I’ve mentioned before.
It involves cell phone service. A father gripes to his kids about how many minutes they use. Never mind that the girl has gotten excellent grades on a college course, never mind that his son almost kills himself ,destroys the garage, totals the car. The father can only see a bill. He doesn’t care about anything else.
His actions kill the girl’s excitement about achievement, the boy..in shock from almost being killed…does not understand why the gripe about a phone, and not the car or garage. The father’s priorities need to be rearranged. Not about the phone bill, but about his family.
