Surely you've seen the commercial where one little girl gets a toy pony and seems happy until she sees that the other girl is getting a real pony. And the little boy who gets a red truck to play with but only for a minute and its taken away. Or the little girl who gets to ride a new bike but only inside a small square block.
So what is different about these new TV commercials?
To answer that question you must understand that probably thirty percent of our population believe we are living in a "Post Modern" society, that is to say "truth doesn't exist." Twenty percent doesn't know what's going on. In graduate school I was told that bright children "create new knowledge" rather than discover or unlock knowledge that is already placed in the universe, you know, like gravity. These postmodernists believe that since there is no truth, make your own. One of the many symptoms of Postmodernism is to make fun or spoof everything, in art, education, politics and on and on.
Though it is just a commercial, innocent little children are being ridiculed and insulted. We may flinch just a little at this sight but we don't truly recognize what the atheistic movement is doing. Perhaps that's why child rapists are getting two year sentences. Evil destroys innocence. Tradition and law in the eye of these people are a joke, the Constitution for sure. They shout "its a living changing document so they can change it. The best example we've seen of postmodernism, instead of a national leader exchanging precious gifts with the heads of other countries, he blows off custom for the new way, and gives Ipods.
If you and your neighbors feel the earth shaking beneath your feet, you should at least know why.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. I hate that commercial, it is very demeaning to children. Along with the "Post Moderns" has come a "New Age" theology that is very agnostic or even atheistic in its' concept. I think that we often confuse knowledge and truth. We can have knowledge and think it to be the truth, when in reality, all we have is an incorrect understanding of something. Good post Roger.
