"We're all gonna die!!" AH MIKE? Kathy??

I know you aren't responsible for this ad.

In fact, I know you'd see through this immediately. I'm petitioning your high standards to request that someone in the Office if we can we kill that nasty, nasty bit of BigPharm terror advertising in that "Cancer is the next Plague: get off yer ass & get healthy" campaign.

that is offensive, alarmist & downright CREEPY BIGPHARM PROPAGANDA.

yes, these are genuine concerns.
yes, these are suitably "holy shit" concerns.

but let me ask you: why are so many people CANCERED?
from where is this money coming?
BigChem? BigPharm? who the hell knows. That's not the problem. thought it does make me wonder if they subsidize it so they can hold it up as 'good corporate citizenship' when they get their biosphere-polluting asses hauled in for what they've got away with for 100 years...

though it does make me wonder. you should.

MY PROBLEM is that it is virtually WORSE than any Terror Alert.

RUN FLEE TO YOUR DOCTOR FOR MEDS!!!

let's be honest, all these things start with a trip to the doctor... which statistically speaking will lead to specific chronic pharmaceutical prescriptions.
okay, we all recognize who the Ad Council ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) IS ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), but...
... because North Americans are more likely to ask for a MED than a new lifestyle. The Ad Council does wonderful work, I can't agree more heartily: we get some of it in Canada, too. I remember the Crying Indian campaign ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).
:party0016[1]:
at the very least, let's not do it with a full screaming siren.

something more WHOLESOME to society could be useful, couldn't it?

Don't suppose you could mention this to The CuffLinkBoiz?

:icon_eek: who designed these Ad Council ads? anybody artistic whatsoever?

let's just say that if a kid wants to major in POTTERY OR ART OR PHILOSOPHY or all those FLOPPY THINGS... ah, maybe there is a better way to DEAL with their child's NOT TECHNICAL SCHOOL desires & talents than to threaten them with financial abandonment.

you know, maybe walk through the calendar together & talk about the CHILD's interests... maybe negotiate a few extra 'business school' or practical solutions.

the thing is... is a university or educational stream for the betterment of society or the betterment of INDUSTRY & BUSINESS?

an artist can do a lot of things. an artist can take pottery & also become a car model designer...

but ... that would be too FLOPPY or FLUFFY to be endorsed by a parent who loved their child & wanted them to take pride in what they could accomplish?


Why do we have HIGHER EDUCATION ([Only registered and activated users can see links])? for what purpose in society ([Only registered and activated users can see links])?


Life isn't about tBall cheering or being a special little snowflake...
but who can be happy in this World?
.. if or Loved Ones keep us from being who we really are?
only earlier this week, I read an interesting post from someone about how LGBT feature high in youth homeless rates.
I worry about the Chinese, you know. Imagine how hard it is to be the SINGLE child of a large-family culture where all the family dreams are drilled down into one individual.

how hard can that be? wow.
what is wrong with a World we're creating where a PROFESSION is considered the only PATH TO HAPPINESS


funny the Buddha suggested there were 8...

who vetted these ads? there is so much going on with these ads it makes the head spin...:SHF:

[KyndCulture]

The ad council ads are public service announcements from...

take a wild guess....

our government.

yeah, but wow, that ad last night was a shrieking air raid siren...
