On every single professional sports game I’ve ever seen, every single show, every single channel. Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?

Why is it even legal to do this? Blowing this money on CONSTANT, DUMB fucking little fucking cutesy fucking skits, not even trying to fucking pitch anything anymore, just burning money on TV and laughing at us while the fucking lemur does epic bants. it makes me so fucking sick, these people should be chained in the dungeons for the rest of their lives.

It’s illegal to not have car insurance so why the fuck do they think we need to see this constant fucking microwaved vomit fucking garbage every fucking second every fucking show every fucking channel??

thank you

    Because they make more money that way.

    In order to stop them, you’d need a large percentage of customers go out of their way to purchase policies from companies with the lowest advertising budgets.

      Or we’d need to recognize incorporation as the social contract that it was supposed to be, and start demanding public benefits in exchange for the companies being granted those privileges.

      Merely restricting advertising is thinking extremely small compared to what they owe us, but hey, might as well throw it on the list anyway.

        Fascinating read. what would be the economical impact if this was to return as charters with limited power and duration?

          More public funding, less corporate interference in our government’s processes. We might actually find that Congress and state legislators listen to their constituents instead of conflicting corporate interests.

      to purchase policies from companies with the lowest advertising budgets.

      This was basically my grandfather’s modus operandi. He wouldn’t buy anything he saw in an ad. Dude was a nuclear physicist, so maybe he was on to something.

      And while it’d be pretty hard to do that today, I always try and keep it in mind when I buy stuff. I ask myself if I feel like I’m being pressured to buy something, and to try to always be willing to walk away without buying. You can always decide later, and buy it then.
