Has anybody else noticed that a lot of advertising these days really doesn't have a whole lot to say about the product you're supposed to be buying? "Look at Britney's tits and buy Pepsi!" "Look at this computer-generated lizard thing and buy Geiko car insurance!" "Look at these happy twins and chew Doublemint gum!"

It seems that hardly any commercials make a reasonable argument for why I should buy the product. It's all about sexy girls, catchy tunes, jokes and celebrities, whose sole purpose is to get you to remember the name of the product. Marketers realize that people want to see these things and make commercials out of them so their ads will stand out and capture people's attention, but in the process they put little or no emphasis on telling me why I would be better off owning their product or why their product is superior to the competition.
