What a relief!! No more telemarketing annoying phone calls, unwanted catalogues in the mail, scammy ads in my email box.
I'm too poor for THEM. Hoorah! Finally my poorness has resulted in a big WIN for me, and you.
I'm no longer IN with the IN CROWD!! Let the BUSHIES GO SHOPPING Till THEY DROP!!
Mass Marketing Goes Platinum
Hawkers of consumer goods are embracing the growing gulf between rich and poor Americans.
In today's fast-moving world of consumer styles, when you're out, you're out. Not just out-of-style, but so far out that you no longer interest the big marketers.
Thus it is that advertising authorities have deemed the middle class itself (roughly 60 percent of us, depending on where you draw the income line) to be unworthy consumers. We're too poor to matter, they say.
I'm more than sick and tired of being a litter bug of mostly useless, and wasteful paper flyers, beckoning On SALE! MUST HAVE! NEED MORE STUFF! group. I've actually been out of that group for years now, but knowing that it is official is AWESOME!
Let the rich have more, more, more. Soon the TV Reality Show HOARDERS will only feature Oprah, Koch Brothers, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the Corporate Politicians overly stuffed messy homes!!
I so agree with the articles author:
The magazine goes on to inform us that households with less than $200,000 in annual income are henceforth on the outs, holding little interest for advertisers. Sure enough, corporate executives in such diverse businesses as airlines, movie theaters, banks, and health care are focusing more and more on platinum-level customers.
Gosh, does this mean they'll stop inundating me with ads and a flood of other come-ons? I could live with that.
I hope that also includes ALL CORPORATE Campaign solitciting.
No more Shopping 'Til I Drop!! Now I can Walk 'til I drop (which I prefer. Much healthier.)
AND my Credit Card will only be used for emergencies and necessities (which is mostly how it has always served me and my poorness :-)
Learn to self-sustain. It's not that hard.
Less is More-Tao.
