So while browsing on amazon.com today for miscellaneous items like fondue sets and PC games... you know all those material things...that I don't need (but that I want) an ad pops up in the bottom corner of my screen stating in big, bold, overbearing letters... "IF YOU DIED TODAY WOULD YOU FEEL LIKE YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST?".
After the immediate shock to my system and the moment where I placed my finger on my lip and went "hmm... have I?"... I simply had no urge to scroll down especially considering I already knew that this intrusive, life altering question would be attached to an ad for something like estate attorneys or pregnancy tests or god forbid! tampons!
I mean what has advertising come to? Do the estate attorneys really CARE if I lived life to the fullest? Will a pregnancy test with a "pregnant/not pregnant" be THAT much better than the old, standard plus/minus sign? Will a specific kind of tampon really make my life SO much more pleasant that it alleviate ALL of my suffering?!?!
Oh Amazon...not while I SHOP...I love you, but what were you thinking?
Oh and I didn't buy anything, I was too busy pondering MY LIFE :-)
