Not to say that I've watched nothing. I've been mooching streaming services and sailing the high seas for a while.
But I'm driving pretty much across the entire east coast of the US to visit my parents for Christmas. So I've stopped in hotels and such, and with nothing else to do I've turned on the TV. And holy shit, the propaganda is blatant. I don't know if its because I've been removed from it for so long or what.
WWF ads using 8 year old cropped videos of Polar Bears on ice. Donate now or they'll die to climate change! Be scared!
A drug ad for some drug to remove a side effect of some other brain-altering chemicals, anti-depressants probably. You finally got your mind sorted out thank to other drugs but now you've got involuntary hand or face movements. Take our drug too! "It's not fully understood how it works but it's believed to work" Literally telling you that.
Government propaganda about kids 5 and older being eligible for the clot shots. Video of children running around playing. Having fun. Being kids. And they still included shots of children in fucking masks.
Not to mention the fact that not a single commercial features solely a white heterosexual couple. I almost got bamboozled by a jewelery ad, because the first half was nothing but white man and white woman. Then they hit you with the mandatory interracial black man white woman and homosexuals.
This was all just one commercial break. People really sit here and see this shit every 20 minutes and they express no disgust or anything at all. Like damn, I knew it was bad from memery and such but seeing it with your own eyes is horrifying
My wife and I subscribe to a few streaming services at the ad-supported rates and I hear you there. While the WWF hasn't been hitting up the services we watch, I think I know the exact ad you're talking about for the anti-tardive dyskinesia drug. That one blew my mind, because it was like "Hey, we know that drug you're taking to keep you from killing yourself and others is giving you hella nervous tics, so try taking our stuff that'll mess with your mind chemistry even more!" Unbelievable.
Another one we saw on regular rotation for a couple weeks was for a drug that was supposed to lessen the chances of transmission of HIV. Apparently abstinence and barriers aren't enough for the people that managed to get AIDS, now they have a drug that can make it so they can bareback it with their partner - but still have a chance of transmission. The real kicker for that one was that during the obligatory warnings section, they literally said something about not being fully tested in "people assigned female at birth". They refused to say "women", due to wokeness bullshit.
We've also been getting state propaganda regarding ZOMG GET INJECTED TO PROTECT THE KIDS AT CHRISTMAS, which garnered an eyeroll from both me and my wife. She's usually fairly apolitical (albeit left-leaning on some topics), but she's started noticing that pretty much every ad for anything either has interracial couples, or gay and lesbian couples with adopted kids. When someone who hasn't been following the descent into wokeness starts noticing things, you know it's getting bad.
The HIV drug is so ridiculous. Like these people are such out of control fuckbeasts they can't even control themselves when it comes to a serious illness that will kill you in a miserable way. But they are just like you and I.
That's like this obeast youtuber I follow for the lulz. She got uterine cancer and had to have all her junk unpacked and she can't fit into certain diagnostic machines, but that still did not scare her straight and she is still stuffing her face like that.
