Auto commercials and possible influence upon driving habits (movie, shows, actors)

[etacarinae]

Watching tele this past weekend , I began to ponder whether or not these advertisements cause the weak minded to emulate the actions , irregardless of the warning 'Professional Driver on closed course , Do Not Attempt'. I guess this is on par with lots of other drivel that states the same , but I had to inquire upon myself about a correlation. Why , oh why , do many of us insist upon living like we are in a movie? Forgive me if I come across as asinine , but to the best of my knowledge , when I see someone emulating fiction as if it is reality I speak to myself about possible timeframes for a painful wake up call. Just like with these kids who try to live like these 'music' makers. Too bad there are not disclaimers on all shows deemed as being potentially genocidal to viewers. I've met what fortunately is a few persons who like to 'pay chocolate homage' to these actors who , in their percieved position of power , really don't give 2 shakes of salt what the fans do. I recall hearing kids several years back talk about how they have a desire to get shot. Unfortunately , I could likely count on my hand the amount remaining alive today , if any.
