Great catches, by BagNewsNotes.com, "Tracking how politicians and the media spin pictures" and Website101.com of corporate media whores in action, selling drunken irresponsibility and violence towards women to help move product.
In the first dissected super-bowl ad, "Enjoy a Little Violence Toward Women With Your Super Bowl", University of Florida national champion and award winning college football star Tim Tebow (the one always wearing bible verse citations painted under his eyes during games) is shown tackling his mother in a high speed rush, in an ad hosted by "Focus on the Family" that allegedly trumpets Focus-on-Family's right-wing "moral values."
On the same page, BagNewsNotes catches another commercial, for a candy bar, of a rough neighborhood "pickup" football game, where a hungry young male player tackles Hollywood senior actress Betty White right into a mud puddle.
Over at another page, BagNewsNotes explains the none-too-subtle concepts behind corporate commercials portraying violence against women (our words): "CONSUMERISM and CONSUMPTION of corporate products" (even corporatized "moneychangers at the table" religious organizations) "makes all evils tolerable."
(Sort of like the bible verses where it is permissable to beat a slave within an inch of his or her life, as long as the slave survives for 72 hours (3 days) befor dying of his injuries?)
Or as BagNewsNotes explains,
"alcohol consumption and partying trumps citizenship" as portrayed by Madison Ave. and our great (whore) corporate media.
BagNewsNotes also links over to another super-bowl ad takedown, at Website101.com, on an ad
http://website101.com/ads/bud-light-superbowl-commercial-super-bowl-ads-2010-plane-crash-victims/
that illustrates even more insane levels of ABJECT STUPIDITY, suicidal greed, and CONSUMERISM run amok that the corporate media will stoop to selling us: in a video commercial that is a parody of a "Lost" episode, a woman among several plane crash survivors stranded on a deserted tropical island finds a radio from the crash wreckage, and manages to get it working. A male survivor, however, finds the airline beer cart, full of chilled Budweiser-lite beer bottles. All the other crash survivors make a bee line for the alcohol cart to start a drunken orgy of conga-line partying.
Even as the woman manages to get the radio working and dials it in on a rescue channel, one of the (drunken orgy) males switches the radio over to a station playing conga beat party music.
Actually, this commercial is a takeoff of an earlier CapitalOne credit card ad, where another party of stranded airline crash survivors get a TV and internet connection working, but one survivor reaches for a screen image of an oversized hamburger, knocking the TV screen over and wrecking the internet connection that could have saved the stranded survivors.
Whether selling candy, alcohol, credit cards, or "moral values" churches, there is NO level of stupidity & absurdity that the corporate media won't stoop to, in their efforts to DUMB-DOWN Americans and make them feel that life's highest calling is a drunken orgy of greed, consumer excess, and total lack of social responsibility.
(We didn't even mention the ad showing a town that NEGLECTS the deterioration of its bridges, roads, and other infrastructure, except to form a human bridge so a beer truck can drive over the human bodies to deliver beer to the town, here.)
