And Now A Word From Our Sponsor

I know I have talked about this before, but they run this commercial about every five minutes.  The Viagra commercial starts by saying “This is the age of Knowing.”  Then it shows some bonehead driving his pick-up truck which is pulling a large horse trailer full of horses into a giant mud hole where he gets stuck. One would think this dumb ass would KNOW better than to drive into this mud hole pulling a trailer with so much weight.  Later we see that he has the idea to pull the pick-up out of the mud hole with the horses. I am assuming that the lamebrain took a couple of Viagra pills and it made his brain bigger. Funny, I always thought the pills made some other part of his anatomy bigger.

I don’t know about you, but if I see a commercial for a pill that is 60 seconds long and they spend 45 seconds telling you all of the horrible things that can go wrong if you take it; I’m passing.

Then there are the car commercials where they are driving nine hundred miles an hour out on the salt flats of Utah.  How many people do you know that drive out on the salt flats of Utah?  Speaking of that, why build cars that can go 120 miles an hour when the speed limit is 70?

Has ABC morning or talks shows ever had a program that didn’t promote another ABC or Disney show? Dancing with the Stars just had Disney week on the show.  It’s a small world after all.

Don’t you love it when commercials try to pass actors off as real people and then you start seeing the same actors in nine different commercials?

And there are the commercials where the spokesperson for the company is an idiot, like the Sonic ads, or where the customer is an idiot, like all beer commercials. Don’t get me wrong, I find some of these entertaining, but it seems to me the not-so-subtle message is, “Hey you’re a dumb ass for buying our product.”

 

There were so many extremely stupid things said by extremely stupid people, ie Sarah (Half-Ass Governor, Full Time Moron) Palin, Rick (I need to be in a) Santorum and Wayne (Shoot First and Ask Ques….Oh to Hell with the Question) LaPierre at the NRA (National Rabid Assholes) convention this past week-end, that I decided to pass on any commentary. 

Stay tuned for future adventures.
