The emotions I am feeling right now are indescribable by mere words alone. Those emotions did not come lightly.

Today, I thought about the human race, our place in the Universe. Our history, our future. And I kept thinking, that something is wrong. Something is very, very wrong.

As long as our species has existed, we have constantly killed one another. We have created ideas, ideologies, theologies and doctrines to justify killing one another. We just want each other dead. We are the only species in the world that kills one another. Why are we doing this?

From the beginning of our conscious mind, so kindly “given” to us by Evolution, we have tried to find ways to kill one another. It started off with brute force attacks, but as time advanced, those attacks became more sophisticated. We have evolved in terms of warfare, and killing each other, but we haven’t got rid of it.

We fight over superficial things, such as economy. We fight over fossil fuels, which are outdated to say the least and should have been replaced by something better years ago.

We get absolutely nothing done, and it’s all due to our idiotic beliefs that do not help us the least.

Today, I heard about the latest happenings in Texas. The texas school board have voted for the distortion of facts and history in school textbooks. They voted for the teaching of bullshit instead of Evolution. They voted for indoctrination over education.

So, yes. I’m embarrassed to be a part of this non-progressive utterly conservative idiotic species that believes 2000 year old bullshit instead of scientific facts, backed by evidence. A species so eager to get back into the dark ages. A species killing one another over religion.

I’m embarrassed to be a human being.

As you can probably see, there are a couple of advertisements on this site of mine. However, the problem with most advertisements is, they don’t work for the spot they occupy.

Let me explain. There are some ads, that work for certain types of sites. For instance, the ads that work brilliantly on blogs don’t work at all on portfolio or video sites. The ads that work on the streets don’t work on the Internet and vice versa.

On television, however, it is much worse. The ads do not fit the show they’re interrupting. I don’t care about the new BMW when I’m trying to watch Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t care about the elections when I’m trying to watch Top Gear. I don’t care about what the local equivalent of Lidl has to offer when I’m trying to watch a film. I really don’t.

And usually, the advertisement doesn’t fit the bloody market it is in? I mean, seriously, I live in a northern, very cold country. I don’t need to know which drink will keep me cool during a hot summer’s day. What I need to know is which drink will keep me from fucking dying if I take out my bins in the winter (it’s bloody  cold here during the winter).

And even if the ad fits the place, the ad is of crap quality. Seriously, how hard is it for you to produce a proper, good quality, funny ad that could actually draw people to your product, and not just piss people off?

And on television, the ads are just way too fucking loud compared to the rest of it. How hard is it for you to do it properly, without blowing out my eardrums every time the advertisements start.

How fucking hard is it to produce a proper advertisement, and not one that makes people hate your product?
