Greetings Esteemed Reader,
I'm just going to keep going on with this flow I'm in these days. This is something I've noticed in TV commercials and got me thinking. I'm sure some really smart guy has already done a more correct study but I'm going to put down my flawed self observed theories
How does a dentist earn his bread and butter? He depends on people not taking care of their teeth and then having to treating them. (No sir, he doesn't have a secondary motive of scaring the living daylights out of you!)
How does a medical practitioner earn his livelihood? Because of every sucker who got fooled into that stale Vada Paav (A.K.A. The Indian Burger).
Should I then really be comfortable when a dentist endorses a toothpaste brand on TV? When they say,"9 out of 10 dentists recommend this!", isn't the 10th one the smartest? Are these 9 tired of their dental practice?
Do they all meet up at a cocktail party and go,"You know what would be cool? Lets endorse a product, using which people will not have the need to pay for our services. We could all then go in search for the Chamber of Secrets!"
Hell! I made them sound high, didn't I? But that is how the logic seems like to me!
Either they don't want to earn money anymore (because it is getting too mainstream these days!)
Or They are being paid more to endorse the product than they would ordinarily earn. (Like hell that's going to happen!)
Or the entire product and its marketing is a lie. (SSSSHHHHHH!!!You didn't hear that from me..)
The consumer is taken for a ride these days. Take even the stock market broadcast shows. A person who is really good at understanding the stock market can make millions on the market in a day! Why would he want to waste his time telling you about the market at the rate of peanuts he is paid by the channel?
We the consumer is very gullible to an ad like this..
Always remember that..
But the biggest idiot in the process is the guy who actually bought it because of that ad.. In conclusion, my point quite simply put is

"An Expert could simply be a con man in disguise"On that I shall bid thee adieu.
