>> [_] Anon 2873119 This is a good commercial. It starts off ambiguous, but obviously with an agenda. Various common electronics that most people use are now heaving, sputtering, obnoxiously loud and smelly machines. Throughout the commercial, the viewer gawks on how silly and impractical these machines are when clean and quiet electronic versions exist in the real world. The viewer starts to think that this is some kind of humanitarian commercial, aimed to demonize electronics by comparing them to gas-guzzling motors. They grow to hate these machines and the message they bring while viewing more and more examples of silly everyday practices made much more annoying and disruptive by making electronics run on gas. Then boom. Car commercial. The hate for the machines is now suddenly transferred to a real world gas-guzzling, annoying, loud, obnoxious item that everyone is familiar with and taken for granted. The sheer stupidity of the fictional motor electronics now poses a question in the viewer's head: can our loud obnoxious motor cars truly be the quiet, efficient electronic tools we are so used to using? And in an instant, with the small clip of the man pulling a big plug from the hood of the car, the commercial answers the viewer: "Yes".

The government could force the plants to upgrade or replace older plants with newer, safer ones.
