The Snipers of Madison Avenue

 


        Armed to the teeth with 30 second interruptions, explosive proclamations and slithering messages scrolling across the screen, they are relentless.  Selling us impossible to read side effects while showing fun-loving families dancing along the surf.

        Landmines disguised as cures, devastating results dressed up as simple annoyances.  Rapid fire delivery by speed talkers designed to side-step litigation.  We are unprepared for this battle, and we are out numbers on all fronts.  Our only weapon is the mute.  Use it and use it often, before even that is taken away.

Another weapon is the record button. Then you can fast-forward through those annoying commercials! I hate them! Drug ads should go away - just like the Marlboro Man!!!!
