If I donate my eyes won't that make me blind then, replacing one problem with another, more or less identical one? And the words go by too quickly to read without pausing the video. And they overemphasized vision and its absence, as if there is no psychological component to advertising.
I'm not working in a cardboard box. There only has to be one little malfunction with some electrical wiring and the whole office goes up in flames or is dissolved when the sprinklers turn on. Then the precious "nothing" office is actually reduced to nothing, or more accurately to a mess of soggy pulp.
Nothing is what happens when people run out of ideas.
I never said I have a problem with booze or guns or any of those things. A cigarette or a bottle of vodka isn't in itself bad, it's just an object. What I don't like is when in advertising people show sadists in the throws of orgasm when they have something other people don't, especially if those other people are suffering. Most of the time the vice has nothing to do with the product. Violence and greed and envy and porn don't have to be used to sell a product.
I like that. Ihop isn't trying to sell me greed or envy or softcore porn or gratuitous violence, they're just telling a story about magical pancakes. And I like Ihop. They serve great food there. It's companies like this that will get my business, not the ones who rely on sin to sell their products.
