Three cheers this year, the Hess truck’s here!

Actually do they even do Hess trucks anymore?

You can only get them online now after all the gas stations closed a few years ago

You’ll be pleased to know my mom still buys them every single year for her children (30s).

Why?! For what purpose are we collecting mass produced boxed Hess trucks that no one plays with?!

My 4 year old son is now the king of the Hess trucks thanks to my 30 year old brothers collection at my moms house. Nana was playing the long game haha

Same here. The box of old Hess trucks always gets played with.

Yep. Get em for my cousins kids. Family tradition since my grandfather's time.

Why are you guys shilling for Hess? More importantly though, where can I apply?

I prefer the creosote sweeping log or the ove glove ads.

So over the PA ones for the state election that doesn’t apply to me.

Jen_the_Green t1_itsqvea wrote

Yes! I'm so tired of all the PA ads. They're just awful and we can't even vote in those elections.

YouTube must think I live in Philly because those are all the ads they show me. I feel for the people with actual TV who can't skip them.

Oh, gotcha. You're comparing the ads. Yeah it's strange how the ads get intermingled I guess it's to shore up the commuters vote?

IMO political ads shouldn’t be allowed

Regayov t1_itsase8 wrote

Political ads not from the campaign itself should be banned. These fly by night Committees backed by other committees and shell organizations are despicable.

34

BYNX0 t1_itsbpml wrote

Very true. The way these politicians funnel money through committees and other companies is crazy. The constant political signs every half a foot for miles also needs to end

Don’t forget foreign governments..

Senior-Sharpie t1_itstfbv wrote

Political ads should be limited to statements of what the candidate in a particular ad intends to do if they are elected. Each candidate running for office should be given a set amount of money and not allowed to add donor money or personal money. This would level the playing field and prevent candidates from buying elections ala Bloomberg. Attack ads should be banned and a candidate who is elected to office should be held to account before being able to run for re election as to their performance versus the promises/claims that were made in the prior campaign.

Darko33 t1_ituvyzi wrote

Any such regulation would be instantly cut down on First Amendment grounds though

Thanks Citizens United, very cool

raindropdroptopz t1_itvqnnp wrote

I like this idea but I don’t want to pay for every person that wants to run ever, especially if they had no chance of winning anyway. I think there should be a limit to how much you’re allowed to raise and no contributing yourself and if people like your policies they can donate and if not well you probably didn’t have much of a chance to win anyway.

Senior-Sharpie t1_itwavo2 wrote

Not everyone who wants to run, only those who get the appropriate number of signatures on the petition and comply with all other criteria in order to be a legitimate candidate.

I haven’t heard or viewed a single ad. I only steam stuff and listen to podcasts/music. I havent watched an ad In Years in fact. It’s glorious.

Same. I have YouTube TV and dumped cable years ago. Surprised so many still haven’t.

Hulu is the absolute worst with their political ads. It's to the point where this month is absolutely worth paying extra for Ad free.

ads are a tax on the poor and old-fashioned* now

*people who watch network tv

l1vefrom215 t1_itumhpy wrote

I’ve just never understood people willingness to have a third of their tv viewing time sucked into commercials. Before streaming, even before TiVo, I used to program my vcr to tape all my shows and sports games. I used to love starting a football game like an hour late and speeding through the commercials to finish watching as the game ended. This isn’t new tech people. Screw these ad men/women.

the vast majority of it is just fear-mongering to scare the shit out of you and usually overblown

That's got to be the weirdest ad I think I've ever seen. The whole picture on the stock footage clips they used is blurred out. Big "don't sue us!" energy.

mapoftasmania t1_ituh368 wrote

The NY Governor ones are the worst. And Lee Zeldin’s lies about crime “skyrocketing” (it hasn’t, still historically low) are actually having an impact. If that Trumper wins the Governorship I’m gonna puke.

100000%. The way some of these news talk and the words they use to manipulate. Hate it. On the other hand, The last Hess truck came with a nice JET that comes out the trucks trailer. My nephew LOVED IT.

It's getting ridiculous, I've gotten two text this week from someone bashing democrats and asking if I'll vote republican. I already hate the two party system but nothing makes me want to not vote for your brainwashed party more than a text message about the other political party.

I can't remember the ad in full but it really sounded like that.

I’m so sick of both sides telling you the candidate is “too extreme” for NJ! What is too extreme?? Yikes. Anyone who wants to make actual change?? Who believes in abortion rights?? Give me a break. I’m in the same camp - I want the ads to 🛑.
