I'm not easily enraged over advertising. In fact, most days, I'm a marketers dream ("What? New and approved?" "Bright and shiny?" Longer lasting? Sold!)
But have you seen the ad for Tyson Any'tizers?
It's the one where a mom brings in a plate of microwaved chicken nuggets to 3 teenage boys playing video games. When she puts down the plate, no one even acknowledges her, they just keep on playing, joysticks in hand. And then suddenly, all 3 boys stand up, eyes still on the screen, on the sofa and say "Here's to Tyler's mom." Then they plop back down and she smiles from th kitchen; happy to have been of service.
Excuse me?!!!
Not only is she feeding these boys CRAP but since when is it OK to be on call for these lazy teenagers!? Boys, get up and get your own "any'tizers"! Better still, get your arses off the sofa and play hockey or ride your bikes! While you're at it, you can give your poor mother a break!
