Sorry, that was a poor attempt at humor. (Or being a social critic.)

Yet you have to admit that much in our modern world is hyped beyond
belief, and most certainly beyond the item's true worthyness.
(Girls Gone Wild, Viagra, and Diamonds around the Holidays all come to
mind...)

For sure.. I won't watch anything on TV unless it's recorded and we skip the
commercials..
Most of them are an insult to your intelligence and the rest are just annoying..

My pet pi eve is that they've convinced folks that they smell bad and need lots
of products to help.. and that "clean", which used to have no smell, IMO, except
maybe sun drying, is now classified as one or more of many, many scents that
make your clothes, hair, etc. smell like a perfume sampler in a department
store..

Don't forget all the germ fighting commercials.I am surprised that our
forefathers survived without the help of all the germ and bacteria
killers we are being bombarded with. Talk about germ warefare.

yep.. and the bad part is from what I understand, there isn't enough
anti-bacterial agent in any of them to do you any good..
OTOH, I worry about the massive doses of even mild anti-bacterial crap that
we're flushing into the environment..
