It's the type of advertisements that pretend to be sending a bigger message that grind my gears. Much like the Gillette ad preaching about sexism.
It's like, yea, do I believe people should work hard, try to defy the odds and follow their dreams? Yes. That sounds awesome! But when the message is coming from Toyota, or some other equally self-interested multi-national corpoation, all I have to say is. "No thank you."
Advertising is a reality of the world we live in, but jeez, don't bullshit me while you're bullshitting me. Just try to sell me the thing and then let's move on. Please.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
