What Are YOU trying to Sell Me?

What Are You Trying to Sell Me???

Scene 1:
Into the elevator full of businessmen, she steps, turns and faces the closing doors. Proceeds to raise her shirt over her head. Unzips her skirt, it falls to the floor. She pulls the tie OUT of her hair and it falls down in a wave of unscathed curls. The doors open and she steps out in a gym bra, and biker shorts. Steps into an awaiting car.
What is this commercial trying to sell? Hair- conditioner? Tennis shoes? Diet pills?
Scene 2:
She stands next to a volley-ball net. In the dark, in the pouring down rain and all she is wearing is a thong, and a gym bra.
What is this commercial trying to sell? Sporting wear? Volley-balls?
Scene 3:
She is half- naked spread across a car with suds and water. Washing the car with a burger in her hand, in full make-up and not a hair out of place. She continues to wash the car in an alluring fashion, chomping sloppily on the burger.
What is SHE trying to sell???
All of these are advertisements on television for everyone to see. Including my son. Your children are being exposed to this kind of provocative behavior on a daily basis and are being brainwashed into beliving it is normal behavior! It either has a negative affect, or well, a negative affect.
I think advertisers should think of the target audience to which they are trying to sell these products.
In scene one they are trying to sell me, a mother, their car! Well they lose THAT sale!
In scene two, they are trying to sell me a refreshing drink? You lost me on that sale too.
And in scene three, they were trying to sell me a place to take my kids for burgers? BIG loser! (they pulled the ads due to an outraged society)
I am asking you, the everyday citizen, wouldn’t you be more apt to buy a product with REAL people doing the selling? We live in an overweight society, but NOTHING is being sold to us from overweight or even the slightly overweight people! Heck I’ll take NORMAL looking people gracing the screen for once!
Skinny models are selling our clothes, our jeans and even our diets are being pushed by SKINNY people!
The purchasing public is not a skinny population!
It will take an outraged society to wake up the advertisers. They listen when we buy and when we DON’T buy! And we’re BUYING into what they’re selling! Falsity!
Freedom of speech does not mean to expose your half-naked body for the world to see. Speech you do with your MOUTH! And we as a society need to speak out against being taken in.
Maybe you like being naïve and sucked in by lies and deciet in, but me…I just switch off the television.

Unmarked police car!

As an unmarked police car approaches an unsuspecting vehicle with lights flashing, the woman in the targeted car pulls over. The officer steps out of his car and flashes a badge. She nervously sits in fear. He begins by saying that they have a warrant out for her arrest. He continues to "place her under arrest" as she stands helplessly with her hands behind her back and is taken to the cruiser. The "officer" proceeds to an unknown location and rapes the victim. After he is finished he takes her back to her car and speeds away.

This was the week in headlines. Another story was one where a child is setting up passers by, by pretending she was being abducted where no one stepped in to help. The officers in charge of the incident were amazed that no one wanted to help this defenseless child.


I lay in bed sound asleep awakened by a horn blaring. Just quick beeps at first but then they became very long as if someone was in danger and they were trying to get someone’s attention. I quickly rose to my feet and rushed to the door. The horn was still going. I approached apprehensively ready to run and get my phone to call the police.

When I approached the vehicle I could see that a woman was causing the continued horn blowing. "Was she in danger?" I thought. Upon a closer look, I saw that the person’s in the vehicle were my neighbor’s who had a place about 100 yards from where their vehicle was parked. They were caught in a compromising position, to say the least.

Angry at being awakened by such childish behavior, besides disturbing the peace and tranquility of the surrounding sleeping neighbor’s, I yelled to the man inside that I had called the police thinking he needed assistance.

Did he look regretful? Apologetic? No, he looked angry that I had disturbed the interlude. Was I apologetic? In no way! I returned to my home where another neighbor was standing outside, awakened also by the horns loud echoes into the silence of the night.

I came out of my sleep to be assistance to someone in danger, yet I felt as if I was the one wrong in trying to help. Is this why people don’t help people in danger anymore? Are they afraid of being belittled and put down by offering assistance, when it wasn’t "really" needed in the first place?

I don’t regret trying to help. What I am ashamed of is living with such disrespectful neighbor’s surrounding me. They had a place of their own, they had a passenger seat AND a backseat, but they continued their ignorance not considering children peeking out the windows or neighbors being stifled awake. They had no remorse, and neither do I!

I would do it again and face the embarrassment. I feel it is my civic duty to help someone in trouble, but then again, I am a minority of people who feel this way.

Newbie

Hello fellow bloggers! My name is joni and I am new to the blogging world. I am studying to be a freelance writer, and blogging seems like a great source in getting opinions from normal people who have a small voice, yet wants to be heard (er...read)
I am a very vocal and opiniated person myself and through the blogs, this small voice may just be heard around the world.
My hope is to get people talking about issues that most of the time get swept under the rug or dismissed as "paranoia." We live in a world where secrets are kept and silence is golden but I hope to change that by letting everyone SHOUT out their views!
I am not into politics in any way. So you won't find many political views here, just raw emotional views of one small woman...with one BIG voice!
Enjoy!
Angel always..... joni
