The Sins of False Advertising!

Warning: suggestive potential adult reading ahead, read at your own risk!

Is advertising, suggestive marketing, or perhaps even subliminal messaging a ploy to make us spend more hard-earned money, to fraternize a location or event, to make the big guys richer and little guys poorer?

Thinking back to when I was a child, sitting on a Saturday morning watching cartoons on the Telly/TV, my eyes grew wide as I took in commercials for toys, cereals, or vacation places and dreamed of having everything I saw.

Toys in particular were sensationalized with what they could do, the realness, which in effect was a complete lie.

The toy would end up being cheaply made and if, as an example, it was supposed to fly, it did not fly without your help, this not shown in the commercial which made it appear to fly on its own.

Such disappointment!

The game soon lost its glamour and was relegated to a dark corner of the toy box, never to be seen or played with again until it was time to thrift it away. Hard-earned money down the drain!

Even today, even as adults, we can still be dismayed with the results of effective marketing.

For instance, beautiful vacations…. the advertising will only show you the best parts and neglect to advise you of the hazards, the unsightly, or the to be prepared fors.

Beauty and vehicle commercials will play to the emotional ego, displaying the adventures you can take, sometimes being played up with status shots or perhaps even sexual or sensual connotations.

With the advancement of technology and the expertise of marketing specialists, many sales pitches render products something other than they are not.

The next time you look at a commercial, notice how colour and the rule of thirds enhances a product, and how technology can inspire us to purchase the perfect product.

What we don’t see in video commercials are the numerous “cuts” which are made to get the perfect shot for the product, or the “erasing of blemishes” in still advertising to do away with the undesirable. The cropping and staging that goes along with enhancing a product's assets while minimizing or hiding its flaws.

Did You Know?

The two most common and most effective colours for advertising sales are red and yellow.

There is a whole psychology in regards to colour and the influence it has on people.

• Red: Creates a sense of urgency, therefore, buy me now, you need me. It is a sense-stimulating colour.
• Blue: Creates a sense of tranquility, peace and reliability, reminiscent of the calming effects of water.
• Green: Creates a sense of health, balance and tranquility. Think of nature.
• Purple: Has always been associated with royalty, but is also associated with wisdom.
• Orange & Yellow: Both are perfectly cheery happy colours.
• White: Has always signified purity and cleanliness.

We are drawn into advertising through clever messaging, colouring, and staging; effective marketing will make you buy almost anything… so buyer beware!

Ride Me

I can see the steam rising from your body as I press my warm buttocks to the soft skin that begs to be caressed by my garden roughened hands

The rays of the sun glimmer off every curve and I am giddy with anticipation, for the morning dew that holds you within its grasp is like water for my parched throat

I can hear you purr, ever so softly, it makes me catch my breath with delight for I want to take you for a ride like you have never been ridden before

From the deep valleys of nether regions to the top of the highest peak, you will rumble with all the glory that you are and we shall reach the climax together

All the while my mouth waters, this is the forbidden fruit I was not meant to touch nor taste, but yet, I cannot hold myself back

I must break the rules, I must see where you will take me, I must speed through time making it stand still and journey through the universe as though it were just you and I alone in this world

Encase me within your body so that I can feel safe and feel the rush of desire as I cradle your solid stick and send you into high gear with one quick flick

Let me enjoy you if only for a little while, I must do no damage, leave no mark, the imprint of my body within yours will not last, I will make sure of that, but it will be a day to remember

I will steal you away to parts unknown and prepare for the backlash that will surely come, for you, my little beauty, you are a gem worth sinning for, I will take that chance

And when I am done using and abusing you, I shall put you in your rightful place where you can sit quietly and wait for me to sin with you again

I must apologize now though for I fear, should my husband find I have sinned with you, he will surely lock the doors and throw away the keys, and no more will I play the seductress to you, my beautiful vintage GTO, for you belong to him!

Gotcha!
