What is it with advertisements these days? I was riding BART today, and the posters were just hitting me the wrong way. First there was the poster for either an upcoming horror movie or video game, featuring a hand missing a finger as well as a good-sized chunk of flesh. Close up it's also a fetching shade of green. Nauseated, I turned and saw this ad at the rear of the car:
Don't get me wrong; I love pomegranate juice, and have nothing against this particular brand. But this image does not exactly conjure up positive images of life, health and tasty antioxidant-laden fruits to me.
Is it because it's near Halloween? Is it the economy? Since when did everything become so morbid?
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. First season, baby!
