what’s the most frightening development in modern society

though question and despite the fact I can come up many answers, I prefer the following: poor advertising.

you know the drill (esp. in Flanders this is a well known but notorious phenomenon)… your mailbox pops from paperwork and you know you like mail!   exciting J

BUT… in that pile of paperwork after 20 minutes of digging you find… nothing but advertisements for stores you never go, coupons for products you never use and publicity for some godforsaken beauty contest… GRMBL

you know the drill… “you have seven news e-mails” and you know you like mail!   exciting J

BUT… mmm an e-mail from the bank about pre-marital saving… for couples… oh irony, you’re single; 

an e-mail with a 10% coupon for the beauty farm… located in a town 100kms from your place (a distance in Belgium considered to be “far far away”); 

4 facebook-messages… yes I know, just checked fb; 

and… and now you’re hoping for something interesting… it’s advertising for the musicals coming up, mmm nice… but… “damn, I’m broke”… 

GRMBL

you know the drill… you’re watching your favourite show on TV and are enjoying a relaxing evening! nice J

BUT… every 7 minutes, wait, no, 6 min 35 seconds, the TV station thinks they need to interrupt the show for publicity… commercial n° 1: washing powder, n°2: coffee; n°3: dog food, … n°6: cat food, … n°14: a laim clothing store, … (in the mean time you went to the toilet, got something to drink, called a friend, decorated your future home, married mr. perfect, designed your entire life and got something to eat)…

and then!   like a gift from the gods…

a commercial for potato crisps… it takes a while… but it cracks you up (probably because of the severe decline in your humor quality level) but still...

red parrot (salty) asks: "hey paprika, do you have a new hat?"

green parrot (pickles) answers: "no, I got new slippers"

...

:D laim, but hilarious :)
