You know the kind: commercials that inspire independent thinking via such novel exhortations as "don't let anyone tell you how to eat your yogurt."

It's along the same lines as "extreme" fruit roll-ups.


Power to the people!!!!1!

1. I completely agree. That's why I don't watch commercials.
:argh: <---- TV being thrown

It's sort of like Fox News viewers who think that they're really the ones who know what's going on and everyone else is deluded.

Now if you really want to be a rebel, put some cole slaw and french fries on your sandwich. :D

3. I try to avoid broadcast television
Ironic, since I am studying marketing, but having sat through enough emotionally-driven pablum that doesn't sell anything except drivel in the most patronizing of ways...

5. I always hated that camera commercial with Andre Agassi.
Rebel? A rebel wouldn't endorse things such as cameras.
