Parable of Ring around the Collar

I was watching television when I saw a very funny bud light beer commercial.  The commercial takes place right after they crash landed and no one is in too good of spirits. A lady very excited says "It's allright I found a phone we are getting out of here!" Everyone is starting to pay some interest until some guy says, "We are going to be all right I found a fridge, It's full of buds!" Everybody gets really excited forgets about the crash and starts drinking to disco music. When you think everything is wrong bud light comes to save the day(according to the commercial).  The protagonist crashed the plane but then found beer to make up for the problem. Although making a very funny commercial this would be an absurd seen in the real world.  When you start watching ads you start realizing how they are so ridiculous and unrealistic. The average americans attention has shrunk to the size of the peanut making very weird messages the only way of making contact to your brain. I find pharmaceutical commercials the most absurd commercials on television. Half of the ad there is just someone talking about all the possible side effects and reasons you shouldn't take it, then seek advice from a doctor before taking the product.  That much information is enough for me to stay clear of that product. I think that if something could have that much negative side effects than it should be taken off the market. It all comes down to personal choice though, if you don't want something than don't buy it.
