TV commercials are people too
    #7732343 - 12/08/07 09:16 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I started to think about everything as part of the cycle of life, and part of the larger consciousness, and I started to think to myself that it seems that you don't have to be alive to actually be a living thing.

A TV commercial. It needs to eat, and it needs organs just like we do. Without funding (food), it could not be, without organs (people who organize is) it could not function. It has people that gets the actors, it has people that get the props, it has people who contact the add agency, etc... Much the way we have organs that chew our food, digest food, and make it usable by our bodies.

If a commercial does it's job, more people will buy what it is advertising, and the commercial will, in turn, make more commercials (procreation).

Everything is trying to make it's way. :thumbup:

it's not just TV commercials, I'm talking about anything. Your computers, your speakers, movies, lightbulbs, cars, etc...

I don't really see how this is all that funny. Its pretty true when you look at it. And this was a completely sober thought, for your information. :mad2:

Just because they don't have a brain doesn't mean they don't have a consciousness. It is just manifested in a different way than living things.

And you base your classic new age assumption on what evidence? I'm not saying you're wrong but please provide some evidence so we can debate this fine issue.

I'm not saying they are actually living breathing things, I'm saying you don't need to be scientifically considered alive to do many of the things living things do.

A commercial was just the best example I had.

Hmm. I guess in an artifial sense, a commercial is a living thing. As in it needs electricity to play.

Where is this going though?

I reread it.

A commercial is much like an artifical organism, it is given a purpose and has needs to fulfill it.

Isn't that what you were trying to say?

*Television Commercials & Maxi Pads do not fit into the grand circle of life in my humble opinion.

why don't maxi pads fit? A male black widow will be killed in order to reproduce much the way a maxi pad will be leaked on in order to get money to make more maxi pads.

omg, haha.

on an inherent level, the atoms which constitute the maxi pad do have a divine purpose. the maxi pad on a subjective level has interchangeable value. you could use a maxipad as a hat if you really wanted, they don't always have to be bled on.

much like ice skates. there's a scene from a movie, where a guy is selling ice skates in tibet as a meat cutting tool. you're supposed to jump up and down on your meat. but we use them to ice skate with.

but of course you could use an ice skate for cutting meat, but thats why we have commercials to tell us what to use stuff for!

but in all seriousness, ice skates can do many jobs if we put them to it. I guess you could compare this to animals getting sick and not doing what they are supposed to. I know theres a good analogy that I'm missing, but that is the best i can come up with.
