Lately I’ve noticed more and more instances of language used in tv commercials that really insult the intelligence of viewers.

Here’s one example:

“ The more you buy, the more you save” !!

I own two television sets.
They are both in the basement, covered with dust.
My life is better since I put them down there.
It’s social engineering programming designed to cause dissent.


If the commercials offend your intelligence, what about the news?

Most of the comments on this forum will insult intelligence itself worse than any Television .....

I didn't see the "l" in the word clock, and was just kind of befuddled....thinking "that looks more like a cervical cap than a pelvic co...."

No-one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Hope, like me, that you’re intelligent enough to understand that, as I myself have done on countless occassions. For full details, see my published works.

If it works for a pelvic clock, maybe it’ll work for the presidency? Yea, I think it will.

I must be some kind of genius, not like those other stupid ‘mericans, and it won’t surprise me if you think the same about yourself.

All commercials insult someone's intelligence. Most insult everyone's.

If you're still watching the teevee.... well.... stop.

...Radio still sucks though when I am in my car...

SiriusXM. I've had it in two cars now for 10+ years and never paid over $10/month total. I have to call every year though and "quit".

Pelvic clock is a beginner Pilates exercise, done of course without that bizarre piece of equipment. It's actually quite good for your SI and lower back.
