I struggle to understand, in this new dystopia we live in, why all the adverts - without exception - show everything we can’t do. People are mingling and socialising; we’re urged to buy frivolous, non-essential goods; there are numerous, expensive, adverts showing celebs enjoying luxurious cruises; and there are even ads giving the delights of Andrex loo paper! I could go on.  All these advertisers must have spent a fortune on these TV ads and all are a complete waste of time. Will they get their moneyback, I wonder? Doubt it.  And why aren’t the commercial stations themselves stopping these  at the present time?  Surely they should be banned, for fear the ignorant amongst us actually do/buy the pleasures shown in front of us? 
What a surreal time we’re living in. In the old BC* days, reality was what we did all day. When we switched on the TV, we were transported to an imaginary world. And now? Exact opposite. Can I have my old life back soon please?

*BC = before Corona
