It would be nice if they just went back to before the whole "sell people a fantasy of what their life would be like with the product" but don't focus on the product at all.

I don't need an ad to know if my life will improve after buying something. Just tell me what the thing is and if its a good price and I want it I'll buy it. Leave the subliminal stuff out.

I agree. It's yet another instance of the continued rise of hyperbole in society.
