TAGS TV tells the stories that connect us, Get the benefits you deserve. Of course, everyone knows There is nothing worse than dingy clothes. Open a bottle of pop And you open happiness. It’s amazing what you’re capable of. A diamond says love. We’re going to make the world skinny One slap at a time. Take a fruit break. Never give up your right to be fake. Wear your skin proudly, Love the skin you’re in. Your underarms are ready when you are. Beauty is confidence, Get the look. Live like never before. What’s better, less or more? We sell fun for less, What’s in your wallet? Think with your mouth, Change your life with bacon. Nurture your nature. Get back to normal, whatever your normal is. You’re gonna love my nuts. Have a happy period. The Source, I want that. You gotta get it to get it. *NOTE: I take no credit for having written any of these lines, each one is a "tagline" from TV commercials. My only contribution is the order in which they appear. It is dedicated to the memory of Marshall McLuhan who stated "the media is the massage" (not a typo) and to Freddie Robinson Jr who convinced me to post it. Hope you enjoy.

You masterfully crafted the taglines in this poem, Phil. Great job. Most people don't know that they're being bombarded w/subliminal messages all the time. Us, free thinkers know what's going on. Keep the knowledge flowing w/incisive poems like this, my friend. Love and peace to you always.
