The Phrase That Pays
You know what I’m getting tired of hearing? It’s the phrase “times like these” in advertisements on radio and TV. Here we are, in a big old nasty recession and the businesses who are in part responsible for creating the conditions in which many of us became overextended due to the raw commercialism in our society are still trying to hit us up for sales. But they’re sensitive, you know. They don’t want to offend us, you see. So they ’soften’ their message by mouthing “times like these” to let us know that they know that things suck.
I am so freakin’ impressed by their sensitivity and caring that out of awe and reverence for them, I”m never buying any of their products or services.
Times like these call for drastic measures, don’t you think?
Fantastic article, this surely helps a lot.. Thanks a million
