There is a film coming out pretty soon called The Joneses, as in "Keeping up with the Joneses." The film stars David Ducovny, and Demi Moore. It is apparently about the perfect family called, you guessed it, The Joneses . Whose only job it seems is get the people around them interested in their lifestyle...or more aptly, the products of their lifestyle. Such as the very latest in high tech shoes, golf equipment, clothing, gourmet frozen food, stylish furniture, sports cars, hair care products and anything else they happen to be promoting. Which is pretty much anything under the sun. As this make believe "perfect" family is nothing more than a selling tool used by big business to sell products to an unsuspecting public. Everything about the Joneses is designed to do nothing more than sell whatever their bosses wish them to sell, by selling everyone on the notion that if you want to be a perfect family too, all you have to do is own everything they on.
Which any realistic or marginally self aware person knows is absolutely false, but the concept does beg the question. "Are there actual fake spokes families out there, created by big business in order to sell the pubic more stuff? I certainly wouldn't put it past a lot of corporations out there, especially the cigarette companies. For I have personally witnessed while living in Europe super hot young girls hired to sell cigarettes, as well as the idea that smoking is sexy and you can actually get a girl as hot as me if you smoke too. So it's not really that far of a stretch to believe that some company out there has indeed hired the perfect family, purely just to sell their various consumer wares.
