What You Have in Common with a Duck

Am I the only one who is disturbed by the AFLAC duck smacking on his assistant in the magic commercial.  My first reaction was shock he was hitting her. That quickly changed to downright fury. Then you cut to two people in the audience one a man and the other a woman who are watching this brutal attack and calmly chatting. Get your bloody asses up and stop this!! That bloody duck is attacking a human because he is a bad magician. This is NOT ok AFLAC. EVER!!!! NOT funny!!!

Another thing, why do people in several multimedia venues love to tell us who wore the best dress? 

Best dress for who? You the editor of a magazine? You the talk show host, you the newspaper editor? Just because you like a dress or do not like a dress does not mean it was a bad dress or the actress or celeb in the spotlight of your wrath or praise has bad taste. Why do you publish and broadcast the best and then the worst? 

Who exactly does that help? Why do it? Are people not able to look upon a red carpet dress and say “WOW!!! That is gorgeous!” or “I do not like that dress!” Do they need to be told? This is not an uplifting, positive, helpful, kind or gracious thing you do. Not to them, not to you and not to us. 

You create hate, remorse, anger, sadness, hostility, self-doubt, loathing, and so many more negative feelings. Not only in us, but in the celeb you attack, the designer they are wearing, and in the brutal world of “lets destroy the celebs” you are attacking each other. You imply we are not savvy enough to like something, we have to be told what to like, by you. Just STOP!!!  Describe the dress, tell us who the designer is, anything else positive you want, just stop the negative judgement. We can decide what we like and do not like. 

Your worst may be our favorite and for some reason that had totally escaped your judgement, we see beauty, quirky, feminine, revenge, respect, fun, serious, joy, laughter and even odd just to get your attention so they can laugh at you.

Just be nice.
