TV commercials in the United States
I don’t enjoy commercials and thought that only in Romania they are really bad. But many that are running on important channels in the US, like CNN, are much worse. So, I see or hear TV commercials that I decided to rate in three categories: money beggars, truly morbid and good commercials.
Money beggars are commercials that tell you “call now” ….it’s your lifetime opportunity to save money:
- TaxMasters
- BlueTax
- Aviva
- AARP Insurance
Truly morbid ads are usually seen for various medicines that have side effects like death, heart attack, etc. May be this is one of the reasons medicare is so expensive in the US, as you also have to cover TV commercials. Anyway, every commercial tells you to talk to your doctor before taking the medicine, which we all are aware of:
- Symbicort
- Snickers
The good commercials are rare and are really worth watching. They are creative and give you a good impression or put a smile on your face:
So, will I be aware of these companies and their products or services? Of course yes, as I have no choice if I want to watch CNN in the morning and in the evening. Will I ever want to buy something from the first two categories of businesses? Of course not.
