But I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE ALL THOSE SUPER HAPPY PEOPLE IN THOSE ADS!!!

Invariably the people they show seem to be drifting in a mildly euphoric state, with no sign of being able to work or lead productive lives apart from dressing neatly and playing frisbee with their golden retriever-- sort of a non-existence. Considering all the money that goes into that marketing, there must be evidence that living in a dream-like state is what people want.
I see blissfully happy people without a care in the world, able to not have to care about work, or the money it costs to take your $1000 pure bred retriever on a $20,000 2 week vacation to their second home -- an awesome one on the beach...
