Real people???

The worst part is we all are the ones paying for a majority of the commercials...I wonder how many millions (maybe billions?) the insurance companies like Geico, Progressive etc., etc...spend on television advertising?...methinks if they didn't spend all that money on the TV spots...they could lower premiums by a large amount...

My guess is at least 30-50%. I seem to remember reading that the drug companies biggest expense for a drug is not the R&D to create the drug/product but the advertising. Advertising was a much bigger percentage.

For the type of boat we want to buy, the major brand that are heavily advertised are at least 50-100% more expensive than a "brand" that does not advertise. We think the quality in the "cheaper" boat is better too. All of the "brands" are made in China so the expensive of the build is basically the same.

Android is a phone. It was my understanding most commercials and movies were done by hallow headed cyborgs.

I am guessing that is a humorous statement. But for the younger generation that may not know, here is a definition of Android:

I hope this art progresses to the point that there are no "real" actors left in Hollywood. I am very tired of listening to their political opinions. Of course someone will surely give political opinions to the fake ones too. Like the public should respect the political opinions of actors or football players. :confused3:

That would be so great! No more opinions that don't really count!

Yep just my dry humor and sarcasm. I read the OP's post that way too.

Actually in reference to a phone...'Android' is an operating system...can run many different mobile devices made by many different manufacturers...BTW...it was developed by Google...

So what do you got against Clint Eastwood?

I think they are just a slightly different class of Zombie, similar to your common average consumer. More dumbed down, less dumbed down, hard to say.

I’m gonna hijack my own thread and make another observation. Have you ever noticed that the actors “not real people” on most automotive shows wear some ridiculous head wear (doo rag?) and sport even more ridiculous facial hair. Would real people do that?

Oh, I see, your anti-face-ist. Just humor.
