Culture for Sale

I know jingles have always been popular…

There’s something awkward to me about commercials that try too hard to appeal to a certain crowd. Just does.

Have you heard those new jingles released by the Texas Department of Transportation has this “Put Texas in You Corner” in order to encourage people to register their cars. They have several versions.

• General version
• Country version
• Spanish version
• Urban version

I think the Spanish version is my favorite. But they went “really far”, just to encourage drivers to get a sticker. I’m surprised a Gospel version hasn’t been released.

Nothing’s wrong with writing a song, but when I sense that it doesn’t come from a genuine source. it’s lame to me. Excuse my frankness.

Some commercials are amusing, I admit.

I’ve heard mixed receptions about this next one. Haven’t solidified my opinion on it yet. However It’s hilarious.

This isn’t McDonald’s first time trying to appeal to a certain audience
