Actually, when youre stuck watching live TV that youre not DVRing, count the seconds (usually just 1 or 2) before there's a brat on the screen or someone says" as a Mom" . It literally doesnt have to be a product about brats or family or anything. But it is shoehorned into everything. "As a mom, I buy Trojan condoms, because I know it's important to little Casey here that he doesn't get another sibling as he doesnt want to share his toys or his room, so I stock up by the case!"

Can't help but think there is a VERY large customer base of moms who look to shopping or indulging in unhealthy habits as an escape from reality. And there are numerous news stories about various demographics that are angry that they aren't acknowledged in advertising because how dare they not be shilled to properly!

In the past, I have contacted a number of manufacturers of products that I consume when their marketing has been unnecessarily focused on breeders or sprogs and ignore anyone else who purchases their products.
It is especially galling to me when they have contests and prizes that entirely focus on breeder needs when their product is for the general population.

I wont buy AngelSoft T.P. anymore, now that I noticed and we talked about it here, how breederific their ads are. I mean, everyone uses toilet paper, not just sprogs and their zoombie parunts. I wont buy Bounty Basic paper towels becuz the pic of the disgustingly messy baby on the package. I dont care if it is the cheapest or not. The companies are losing out not going after my demographic I guess.

my most hated ads are the birth control ads, because the women are either already a mombie and say things like, "another kid? not right now!" or she's shown with a man and says something like "right now it's just the 2 of us." i have never seen an ad that shows a third woman saying "kids just aren't for me" or whatever. because birth control is just postponing the inevitable, evidently.

Also not going to Panda Express. Dad and kid eating shrimp at a mall in front of Panda express. Honestly, no commercial ever shows a mom AND dad, or two adult males or two adult females, or god forbid a couple going on some kind of date. Every single ad is wrapped up in parenting and only single parenting. I dont know how ad agencies can only think one idea constantly, kids kids kids w/ one parent. I guess they feel it is relatable, but really there are SOME two parent homes out there, and they spend money too.

Cheerios had a mixed race couple with a sprog (or was it two)? That cereal company caught a lot of shit for that. So did Campbells soup when they showed a gay couple and their sprog eating soup.

Well, I guess they will only show a two parent home when they have another agenda to serve us all, to pander to more groups. I also tend not to buy from companies that do this either. While I dont care how these groups of people live their lives, I feel the companies are virtue signaling when they do that.

Being child free is correlated with higher education levels, incomes and IQs, so I don’t blame advertisers for not bothering. Smart people make more rational buying decisions. Also, people who have rejected the lifescript are, I would imagine, not going to become loyal to a brand for any reason other than the product’s merit. Smarter, wealthier people also tend to have healthier lifestyles, so processed food is going to be a hard sell.
I know that it’s a waste of time to advertise anything to me. I avoid process food, wear a pair of shoes for years, clean everything with vinegar or bleach and get whatever toothpaste is on sale. For major purchases I look at reviews, not advertising. I’m guessing that a lot of CF people are the same.

This sort of thing is not something I deal with as I dwell almost exclusively on the Internet. My browser has an ad blocker installed. Being a near shut in, I am also not exposed to other people's media blaring commercials, and I certainly don't do TV. These companies are trying to sell a product, some more cynically than others. I just roll eyeballs and move on.
