Anyways, that�s enough for today. I didn�t really have a point to this one�.it�s just that that commercial got on my nerve. Their new slogan is �Hershey�s: Happiness Unwrapped.� That�s frickin� crap. Anyways, I�ll ramble at y�all later. Peace.

| Alright, what�s up? New Random Thought after far too long (in my not-so-humble opinion). So I thought I�d treat you all to more of my inane prattling-on. I just hope that my insipid nature amuses the lot of you. Otherwise this is all for nothing. Anyways, I was watching TV, as I tend to do from time to time, when I saw a commercial that quite angered me. It was for Hershey�s Chocolate. And the thing that got me was that their little ad idea was �Hershey�s=Happiness.� What? Chocolate=Happiness?!? Please tell me that I am not the only person that has a problem with this notion. America on average is an obese nation. A lot of that reason is because people are generally unhappy with their lives. That�s sad, but I believe it to be true. People are unhappy with their jobs, spouses, unachieved goals, etc. And a lot of people eat because it brings them pleasure, as short-lived as it may be. It�s just like drugs. People would find it very bad taste for a beer company or a cigarette company to advertise Budweiser=Happiness or Marlboro=the key to eternal bliss, or crap like that? So why when a lack of will-power and self-respect has already driven many people to eat obsessively as a substitute for happiness, does Hershey�s feel the need to further urge these people to continue their unhealthy and, in the end, dangerous habits? Let me show you a few quotes straight off of www.hersheyshappiness.com. �It takes the �blue� right out of �Blue Mondays.� �They�re the original small squares of finite joy.� �It�s like getting a big hug from someone you haven�t seen in a long time.� OH COME ON!!! Is this how we should be thinking about our FOOD!?! An old friend? Give me a break. Now I love to eat more than anyone else I�ve met. It�s probably the Italian in me but when my family gets together, we eat. I enjoy my food. Sometimes when I don�t realize that my food is almost gone and then I try to take a bite�and there isn�t any left�.I cry. OK, not really, but does anybody hear how crazy that freakin� sounds!!??!! IT�S YOUR FOOD! IT BECOMES YOUR EXCREMENT! STOP GETTING SO FREAKING ATTACHED!! Anyways, that�s enough for today. I didn�t really have a point to this one�.it�s just that that commercial got on my nerve. Their new slogan is �Hershey�s: Happiness Unwrapped.� That�s frickin� crap. Anyways, I�ll ramble at y�all later. Peace. |
