Shameful

Okay, I know I’m gullible. I know that marketers and advertisers shamelessly use whatever means necessary to lure people into buying their product. I know that this isn’t even a great commercial and borders on the supremely cheesy, but I can’t help it. The new Tim Horton’s commercial with the father and son sharing a Timmy’s and the father tells the son that he did, indeed, come to watch him play hockey, makes me sniffle. Okay, my eyes even water a bit.

Ugh. I suck.

If you know you're being played like an expensive violin, you're not gullible. They do try their best to pull at the heartstrings.
