Insurance Ads

I remember when insurance ads were just the domain of late night TV. Now, unless it's prime time or a children's channel, you can't have an ad break without some kind of insurance ad coming up at least once.

But what's worse is that when these ads were just late night ads, you could forgive the extremely bad acting in them, because, well, it was late night TV. There's nothing good on, so why should the ads be an better?

So you'd think that with the rise in the number of insurance ads, the people behind them would want to make sure that the acting is much better. But no. Apparently they don't care about this. They're just happy to let the acting in them get worse and worse until you're left wondering who would actually believe that the insurance is any good, since there's no effort in actually trying to sell it.

Although I am curious as to why insurance ads have suddenly surged onto our TVs all of a sudden.

It's almost as though the insurance companies are trying to cash in on people's fear of the world ending next year. Doesn't surprise me. After all, big companies are completely heartless and only focus on the bottom dollar.

What does surprise me is that there's probably is a huge number of people who are thinking about the end of the world next year and have decided that they should probably cover themselves and their families just in case something happens to them. Then, at least their families don't have to worry financially after the end of the world.

That's really the only reason I can think of why there are suddenly so many insurance ads on TV.
