So I thought for my 420th post, I'd do my part and bring up an issue that I think is a major plague on our society. I'm actually really high right now, so WHOOHOO , and I don't know I tend to really analyse things when I get baked.


For a long time now I've secretly cringed whenever somebody says "oh, I love this commercial!". Nobody seems to see the problem in this, but it's bothered me for a good while. I've just come to the point where I won't watch any TV commercials, and I hate that movie theatres are now doing it.
I know there are some really funny commercials now and again, but still, I sincerely believe we need to ignore ALL commercials on T.V., or at least don't watch it more than once just to know about the product that's out there.
I mean has anybody really thought about it? How many minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, YEARS for some, of our lives have we given to these consumer-culture assholes? We have an economy that has basically based itself on brainwashing the populace into thinking they should take a huge piece of this blink in existence we get, and waste it on companies trying to sell us things. A "good commercial" is just a craftier method of making you waste your time convincing you you need the next marketplace indulgence.

Guys, seriously, this is our lives. This is the 70-100 year blink in existence, or at least this existence, that we get. And instead of making the best use of it, expanding our minds, exploring our lives, figuring out how to better life for humanity, we focus a huge portion of our lives feeding a consumer machine that creates an economy where the faster we use up the Earths resources, the better our economy. It's not good for your mind, or you "soul" if you so please, to hand over our minds to industry and government. What they're trying to sell you, or tell you to believe, or what medication you "need", has so ingrained itself in our society that we're distracting our minds on pointless indulgence, and wasting so much potential within ourselves. It's shutting off our brains, making us stop asking questions, and I for one just won't listen to it any more.

Just consider this, please. Is watching a funny commercial actually worth giving over your thought processes and time from your life? What if we actually just... stopped watching?
