Re: Uncommon Opinions

Which is why it's an uncommon opinion. Me personally I want less preseason and more regular season.

That won't make me change my mind on it lol.

Maybe they could get 2 games in a week. If some guys aren't playing back to back games, still gives teams time to evaluate all the guys while getting it over with quicker.

Give NFL preseason teams infinite rosters and have them play split squad games all over the map!

YouTube comments and FB meme/video comments are quite hilarious.

I totally agree with the former.

I don't read the latter enough, or at all really, to form an opinion on it.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Probably not as uncommon opinion as I think, but misleading ads should be banned.

I remember they've already banned food companies from doing certain things to food when using them in ads(iirc, groceries used to do it, photoshopping or painting fruits and vegetables to look unrealistically good). But theres still ads out there which clearly have special effects or some trick camera work to make their products look better than it is.

Video games especially, their trailers are always these super shots with best graphics and motion captures ever. Shots that we dont ever see in the game itself. They should only be allowed to use actual gameplay footage, NOT cutscenes.

I think I've rarely gotten something from fast-food that looked like its advert counterpart. except maybe fries lol


Video game ads are so unrealistic I dont even trust 'em.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I used to think advertisers could do whatever they wanted with their own product except call out other competing companies/products. Then I found out that they can do that as well, as I've seen in a few commercials.

As far as the video game thing, normally they provide disclaimers, like when it is/isn't actual in-game footage.

My favorite is car commercials, advertising specs on a car that you couldn't legally do on the road if you so desired.

I mean...an ad's job is to make you want the product.

This isn't to defend any in particular; as Caulfield said, I don't think I've ever gotten food that looked as good as in the ad but we also have to be aware of that as consumers by now.

I just take ads as an idea of what to expect from a product, not an exact depiction of what I'll get.

It's always funny when companies do directly take shots at competitors. Usually its just "Us vs The Leading Competitor", but other times they directly mention the company by name.

And let's face it, nobody reads disclaimers lol.

Car commercials are almost always the same. Their car with best paint job and shine ever, driving down some open road, or randomly in a forest or something like that.
