Twenty-one seconds to put you in a stupor. Slam the iron back door. Rattle the whole building. Put it to the backs of their skulls.

Coming in from a long day of shopping, are you? Racking up the debts?

Say, what’s on the boob-tube? More commercials! Get to the actual programming, for crying out loud! More vexing jingles. The advertising executives get paid a mint to create this shit. Can you believe it?

The large print giveth and the small print taketh away! Watch you backside, lousy scoundrels — that’s about all we’re capable of now-a-days. It’s the American Way: looking out for #1.

And if you find the numbing jingle reverberating through your brain all day, it must be that you are weak psychologically. Might be time to turn to prescription drugs; or, ironically, more anesthesia!

No worries on our account. We’ll just label you mentally ill and call it a day. We can’t be spending money on you to take care of you. We can’t have abnormalities, especially in individuals. Costs too much money.

If you’re a corporation, that’s another story. We never reject “doing business”. Doing business makes us more and more cash so we can create more and more vexing jingles!

Yes, it is a vicious cycle. Also, a very profitable one!
