The Ad said

Truth in advertising. Oh, Really?

           The ad said buy this car
         and be the coolest man alive
         So when everyone sees you
        They'll know you have arrived

            The ad said buy this Razor
    and chicks will slide across your face
    It's guaranteed to attract the b*****s
         of the entire human and race

       The ad said buy these Tampons
      and you'll never menstruate again
      You can eat anything you want to
           and still attract hot men

           The ad said buy this cereal
         and your kids will reign supreme
              their IQ's will quadruple
         and their eyes shoot laser beams

         The ad said buy this smart phone
        And you'll be plugged in far and wide
           So you can watch porn movies
          When the traffic stops your ride

           The ad said buy this medication
           and your stomach won't explode
           and you won't need that tattoo
           for your a*s that says wide load

The ad said buy what ever the f**k we're selling
          Because we're smarter than you
           You're a stupid low life peasant
             So we tell you what to do

          You can work for minimum wage
          We know you can't afford to live
            You can still have everything
            With the credit that we give

         We'll tie you to our credit lines
                You'll never get away
            Cause you fell into the trap
              of a 21st century slave

a hard reflection of the consumerist society.. and the influence of media over the mentality of people... suppose we all need more self awareness and think carefully about what we actually need... a well written, topical piece, excellent.

There is very little truth in advertising...you might have even said it better than Mick Jagger, Baby. Love this.

You are so right. The ads promise everything, including eternal nappiness. Their disclimers are in the tinest print possible...
