"I love football on tv, shots of Gina Lee, hangin' with my friends, and twins." ...something-something "and I love you too. It's the love song!"

-Alcohol ads used to have the best jingles.

Because you see ads today that means they were always there? Isn't there any basic train of thought anymore, is everyone now living in still pictures? Why are so many people here denying the article I provided earlier where it was saying that NBC after "50" years it begun having liquor ads again.

" Isn’t there any basic train of thought anymore..."

No, ads, television, and social media destroyed our attention spans.

Now the only tv ads that play are Lawyer ads, Insurance ads, and Pharmaceutical Ads. By comparison, Alcohol ads coming back doesn't seem half-bad.
