I am not a big fan of most network TV shows, but there are a few I like to watch. Usually I record in advance and just skip over the commercials, but tonight I decided to watch a few commercial breaks and see what I could notice.
What I noticed is that in an entire 3-hour show, there was not one single commercial that showed anyone wearing a mask, except for the ones (fromPfizer, J&J et al) that showed white-coated people in labs doing Big Scientific Stuff. There were even scenes of supermarket interiors with many people talking to each other in close quarters, and none of them were masked up. Ad after ad with people in audiences clapping, people playing sports games, people having big holiday meals in homes, and not one single person wearing a face diaper.
One ad in particular stood out. It was for a sandwich making fast food company, showing the ingredients being assembled into a sandwich. We could see the worker's hands and torso, but at no point did they show the person's face, which would very likely have been masked. But we didn't get to see their face, so we never saw any mask.
Months ago, it seems like many of the ads were virtue-signaling by showing people wearing masks. Now it seems like they are trying very hard NOT to show people masked up.
Just interesting to observe. Anyone else noticing this trend?
Are we winning yet?
I suspect it's because the mask mandates in school districts hit them hard in elections, especially in Virginia. Usually voters don't care about school board elections. They'll never admit they're retreating, but I think they're realizing it fires up voters too much in local races.
