Unacceptable Manipulation.

I’ve noticed that a number of insurance companies try to sell life insurance by using the ‘shame’ tactic. They show pictures of kids saying things like ‘I can’t believe you don’t have life insurance, dad’ and ‘the best gift you could give me is life insurance.’ Hateful. Utterly hateful.

It’s bad enough having advertisers trying to manipulate me into wanting something by making it ‘irresistible,’ but trying to get me to buy their product by making me feel guilty for not having it is simply unacceptable.

I’m not falling for it. Nobody should fall for it. I strongly recommend that everybody refuse to buy insurance from companies which use that tactic. They don’t deserve your business.
