I know that the Big Game or Small Game or Medium-Sized Game or Inconsequential Game or What Game? or whatever you’d like to refer to it as has already come and gone, but I would like to now voice a niggling complaint that I had prior to it.
It is not this: I derive enjoyment from Super Bowl commercials.
It is this: I do not derive enjoyment from what are essentially previews of these Super Bowl commercials.
A thirty-second spot of a product offering DOES NOT WARRANT a teaser! Not only is this (extra) commercial widely proliferated, it tells nothing of the product! It is advertising… an advertisement.
And just when I’d thought we’d scraped the bottom, it turns out there’s another barrel entirely.
Your Hyping of Your Hype Needs To Die

When purchasing a product, one spends a lot more than money. In some instances, they spend their time and potentially some electricity researching the product, making sure it’s right for them. Next, they have to get the product. You can order online, in which case you’re spending another chunk of electricity, as well as waiting for the product to get to you. If you go and physically purchase the item, you’re spending not only money, but also travel time, and some form of energy, be it in the form of gas, solar power, electricity, or good ol’ human leg power.
Yet another installment of cumbersome advertisements that do everything except motivate me to purchase a product! They also can’t make soap very well, either.
