Maybe I'm showing my age, but there's one commerical on TV that just sets my teeth on edge.
It's the Sprint commercial where a family is visiting the Museum of Natural History in NY. The kids are taking pictures and sending them to Grandma. One of them is texting non-stop. It's a depressing snippet of how family communications have gone down the toilet. No one talks to each other. Dad slips away to score Broadway tickets as a surprise for his wife, but I'm thinking she might be pleasantly surprised if he just flat out asked her.
This black-and-white commercial demonstrates how cell phone technology has undermined the family unit. It's ironic because the intent is to show the opposite. Poor Grandma is sitting in front of a computer watching these pictures, but I can't help thinking that maybe she'd prefer to hear her grandson's voice telling her about his trip to New York.
What do you think? Do you have any commercials that annoy or irritate you? I'm sure this isn't the only one for me, but it certainly strikes a nerve.
