COMMERCIAL FREQUENCY? DISGUSTING!
COMMERCIAL FREQUENCY? – DISGUSTING!
By Robert Egby
I was trying to read a 1,500 word article in Universe Today in which scientists proclaim that the Universe as we know it is fine tuning itself and other Universal Laws that make human life livable.
Well, I can’t say I enjoyed the piece – mainly because it was scattered by some seven display advertisements (commercials) from all sorts of mundane, almost gutter-type origins. The first was from some legal organization about personal protection. Next was something about Bioscience powers of a State – Delaware, I think, then there was a Newsletter from Fraser Cain whoever he is.
Next a disgusting food commercial connecting eggs for a “foggy brain.” This was repeated 214 words further on by another eggs photo and a heading “Three Foods that Fight Memory Loss.” A disgusting piece that I would like to forget.
Then a commercial for Lays proclaiming “A Little Joy in Every Bag.” The final commercial was a Tourism Commercial for Delaware.
For a 1,500 word article on the Universe, that’s one commercial interrupting my reading comfort at every 214 words.
This form of Commercialism is disgusting. It’s quite likely that the next edition I pick up of the Holy Bible there will be a commercial in the text for fish and chips just when Jesus is teaching the disciples how to fish on the Sea of Galilee.
It is not the Commercials to which we object, but the frequency!!! It’s little wonder that people are becoming disgusted with the Internet and Cablevision.
