What Are We Becoming?

There is so much about this commercial that pisses me off.
Lets start with her comment of "only $100."
Since when is $100 followed by the word only.
Especially for a pair of jeans?
Are they the world's greatest pair of fucking jeans?
I highly doubt it.

Now let's assume this girl is say, 12 years old.
When I was 12, $10 was a big wad of cash.
$100 was like being a millionaire.
Yet to her, pfffft, $100?
Petty cash.
$100, to me, is still now a large chunk of change, that really needs validation to spend.

The next part is her attitude to wearing a second-hand pair of jeans.
The disgrace, shock and horror of it all!
Imagine, having to wear a perfectly good pair of jeans, with no defects whatsoever, that have been worn by one other person!
Blasphemy I say!!!
I can remember wearing clothes that were worn by no less than 5 of my cousins before they got passed down to me, before being passed on to my brother.
But no, not this girl.
What was her mother thinking when she washed that stain out?
Doesn't she know the economy needs stimulating?

Now I'm fully aware I have aimed this rant at that little girl.
I'm equally aware she's reading a script.
But what does it say when marketers are targeting a young audience with this type of attitude towards consumerism?
What kind of pretentious, greedy and morally corrupt generation are we raising?

It's this kind of shit that really makes me feel sorry for humanity heading forward.
