Ellen Degeneres Amex commercial
Floyd10:
I dont know if u've seen this
its a traditional celebrity spot. it shows her dancing to all sorts of music. and at the end, shes on her show and her voice over comes on:
"My lifes about dancing to my own tune. My american express helps me to do that."
How *explicative here* hypocritical is that?
if you dont see it heres a translation:
"I love being an independant person, thats why I support big business."
DrewKaree:
Why do you think it's about supporting "big business"? It isn't possible that she can do things due to her purchasing power that don't benefit "big business"?
As for supporting big business, you support stealing from a grocery store, yet you are on your computer which is comprised of components from "big business", you wear clothes that either were produced, sold, or both, by "big business", you are using the electronic media to view this message that is brought to you by "big business", and you live comfortably due to your parents and their use of "big business".
Are you telling us you're sending this electronic transmission on your electric abacus while sitting nekkid (or wearing your hemp clothes made from hemp you grew in the back yard) and sending it over a tin can and a string from mom and pop's Stench Ranch Commune?
Your "stances" are decidedly self-serving.
Must be from smoking too much Oregano
;D
Hey, how's that Christmas set of DVD's for your girlfriend that you bought from "big business"?
rockhopper:
Agreed. Floyd, try living in the real world.
You'll see things are much different here.
Floyd10:
first, Im just pointing out her hipocracies. Amex and the RIAA are both big business.
Second, I dont buy from big business... most of what I own are second hand/ from goodwill, and the reason I'm not fully independant from the system is because Im not emancipated. although, I plan to attempt to bringing this country to its knees. im not saying I'll succeed for certain, thats wishful thinking, but why not try?
Sasquatch!:
A major corproation is pandering toward "image" in it's advertisements?!? The devil you say!
