Advertising Pawn knows how to remain culturally relevant and contemporary. In times of gloomy recession and depressing headlines, we provide you with an article on suicide and how to end your life with a bang (or a splash).
Advertising despises normality. In our world, you don’t smile; you laugh out loud while rolling on the floor, acrobatically sipping a can of Coke. You don’t smell good; you irradiate your surroundings with a scent that brings every hot girl’s sense of self-esteem so low that you can have sex with them on the spot. You don’t just drive a car to run errands (boring); you ride it like a wild horse with absolutely no destination to go to.
Advertising just loves hyperbolic behavior. In our world, suicide isn’t morose and heart-crunching (let’s leave that to real life). We prefer to consider suicide as the epitome of a relationship with a brand. After all, suicide is just the doubt looking for the truth, which means that our products become the ultimate reason to live, die, or think of life differently.
Of course, this tactic might shock the easily offended whenever evoked too bluntly; which is why we often address suicide metaphorically (replacing humans with animals, insects or blurbs of all kinds) and with a heavy dash of humor to diffuse potentially constipated reactions.
Enjoy the controversy below. And if you want more shock, feel welcome to read our article on the Shock Doctrine.
