This past Sunday the Lord put in me a message of clarity about the influence of pop-culture. Specifically I called out the "stories" offered by pop-culture. More specifically I forecast some themes we could expect. Surprisingly, Super Bowl advertisers strike unusually serious tone.
While it might appear that I need to offer a retraction of some of my comments on Sunday...the serious tone of the "new" commercials actually made my point. The somebodies that make decisions and the somebodies that make purchases know that the stories that pop-culture tells affect behavior.
Somebody wants you to believe that the right soap can make you a better dad. Dove Men+Care
Somebody wants you to believe that more McDonald's and more CocaCola will make the world a happier, more loving place.
While sex still permeated (Did KC and BC really say tw....?) and humans still look to humanity for life solutions - somebody knows that if you want to change a society's behavior you put unacceptable behavior in the spotlight during the super bowl.
We know stories work, don't we. What story are you living in?
