Commercials

After all the focus on commercials in the last couple of weeks I have arrived to this conclusion.  It all depends on the individual watching the commercial how persuasive it is.  If I am hungry and a O'Charley's, Chili's, or pizza, etc. commercial comes on - it motivates me to want to go there.  I will try some of the new menu items because they make it look so good, only to get aggravated at myself because it is never as good as it looks..  If I have just had dinner, then the food just isn't appealing.  I just went and bought cereal because of the commercial.  Commercials that use babies, people, and animals in unrealistic circumstances tend to be comical and become some of the most popular ones. For instance the Budweiser horses playing football, the Budweiser frogs, the Etrade baby, the mayhem commercials, and the woodchucks chucking wood,  have all been very popular.  We pay attention to the commercial that pertains to our interests.  There are some very "cheesy" commercials too.  The Tennessee Pride Sausage commercial was so ridiculous.  The setting was a science classroom and the teacher was interacting with a student.  Every time the teacher ask the student a question a person dressed as a crab would come over and smack the student on the head. After he had the sausage the student answered questions normal.  It's one of those commercials you tend to scratch your head and say, "what was that about?"  I wish there were more regulations on the number of commercials allowed during a break.  Sometimes there are too many commercials played back to back.
