Week 2.

The two channels I watched for commercials were TBS and TNT. It’s quite obvious that each station is geared to a different type of audience. On TBS I watched The Big Bang Theory (honestly one of the funniest tv shows I’ve seen in awhile), which is geared to an audience of teenagers and mid-life adults (women mostly). With that target audience it is natural to see that a majority of the commercials I saw were mobile phone commercials advertising their newest “smart phone” trying to get every teen to believe that without that phone they are going to die in social Siberia.

On TBS I watched Bones, which is a more serious show that has an expected audience of sci-fi geeks (such as myself) and people who like murder mysteries and a good action show. The commercial that literally took over this station was the Pillsbury products. I guess that people who watch this channel and these types of shows have a reputation for having quite a sweet tooth or else these cookie and biscuit commercials wouldn’t be so popular on this channel!

Now, it’s getting to be really late that I’m doing this and the one commercial that I keep remembering is the stupid Tostitos commercial with the talking bag that does the little shimmy dance. After watching it a few times, it’s making me really hungry and this is posing a real problem because I really shouldn’t eat anything right now because it’s so late, but those chips just look so good especially with that salsa! I really hate these commercials… all they do is make me eat which is not what I need to be doing.  But it just looks so good… one chip couldn’t hurt. Right? Maybe I shouldn’t keep all of this food in my room… that might help. Yea? Alright, I found my goal for the weekend: get rid of this junk food. I’ll see how well that goes over.
