Fashionista Sista

Here it is… a throw down.

I’m so tired of being bombarded by horror flick ads.  The first time I realized that I despised having to witness horror ads was when I was watching So You Think You Can Dance on Much Music in the afternoon with my little guy and sure enough suddenly Cut to commercial:           

 We’re looking at a woman standing in front of the mirror and suddenly the scariest and most horrifying face pops into the mirror reflection on screen and scared us both in a major way.  It was totally uncool having the Ad come on at 1pm in the afternoon, especially being sandwiched between fresh and inspired dancing on the show.  It was a crisp sunny day and suddenly my energy shifted uncomfortably and I had to fight to get my good vibes back.  Little kids don’t deserve to witness horror like that let alone adults!  Terrible TV scheduling. especially when its the daytime and the shows content is very audience friendly.  I wrote an email to the Much Music and they took note and made the change, as far as I now they stopped the Ads playing on the show before 6pm.  Props.  

 However, the next few times I really felt oppressed by these horror flick Ads was when this one Ad constantly kept playing while I was watching channel 6 during the Fashion Police for the SAG Awards this very evening!  Suddenly Cut to commercial:

 Scary movie Ad for The Univited comes up and there’s horror everywhere.  Twisted bodies, scary eyes and dark content jumping at me.  This same commercial has been on for weeks and I despise it.  Everytime I see the beginning of the Ad I have to turn my head away before it cuts to something scary and horrifying that eventually comes up in one of my nightmares.

 It’s a total injustice that we (the average cool sista and brotha out there and our innocent amazing children) are forced to endure those scary and dark images when we are least expecting it… let alone when we are expecting it.  In this crazy wild but beautiful world it seems to be a terrible idea to constantly force darkness onto people especially before 6pm on daytime television when all we’re trying to do is make something positive happen with our day!!  Spread the love yo and stop paying for the ugliness already.  The problem I see isn’t in watching these shows (even thought I must say ease off the horror train man) but its more importantly about these Ads being on TV so often and on the wrong content shows.  Everyone of us has to fight so much negativity in the world, why the heck are people buying into it all?  Smarten up.

 This is your heads up TV Programming peoples.  Put your scary horror Ads online targeted websites or during the TV shows and Films that are more appropriate for the horror set.

 Please take note.  This is the word From a down sista.. Peace.
