In reply to the discussion: The most annoying commercial of the 2019 holiday season. [View all]The Figment
(494 posts)8. I disagree...
There a set of ads that ask for monthly donations for a bunch of different organizations,all good organizations mind you,but they all want $19 bucks a month and will send you a "gift" that includes a t-shirt.
What upsets me is the totally pro photography, the heart tugging music, the carefully crafted voice over, the "last chance" tagline,you get the point
I don't mind that these organizations asking for help I just hate it when some Madison Avenue ad agency plays with my emotions, obviously hires a psych team and spends way too much making these ads.
I wonder how much of ones monthly donations are tax deductible.

Why watch any of these when you can watch the Folgers Incest Christmas Ad.
