A Few Questions

Yesterday was largely unremarkable. Today looks like more of the same. Trigger is doing better, though not ready to ride just yet. And I...

I have a list of very good questions:

1) Why on earth are there so many stupid, stupid, stupid commercials on TV right now? There are several that just make me want to vomit on impact. At the very least, I'd rather trim my toenails with my teeth than buy their products! "Honey, the pizza guy made a mistake AGAIN! I got three pizzas for the price of ONE!" delivered by a pasty looking white guy with bad hair who is hugging pizza boxes and weaving back and forth in some ecstatic butt-shaking pizza dance. The best part is when it shows the rest of the "family" while they're chowing on the pizza.. there is no way that beautiful woman would ever marry such a putz. I am embarrassed for her that she had to be in a commercial with him. Bleah.

2) Why would anyone buy cheap furniture that they don't start paying for until 2008? I mean, come on, think, people! By the time you start paying for it a) you owe more in interest than you paid for the furniture, and b) the cheap crap you bought has already fallen apart, been shredded by the cat, or has otherwise taken its place on the curb beside the garbage cans. Now you're stuck paying.. and paying... and paying for something that's already used up, and now you are without decent furniture again. Stupid commercials, for stupid people, I guess. (The lesson here is to spend the money for quality merchandise.. it's better to get rid of something because you are tired of it and can afford something new than because it has fallen apart).

3) Does anyone like the new McDonald's ad campaign? I guess it's not really new.. they've been doing the "I'm lovin it" thing for a while now. I rolled my eyes over the "salad poetry" thing they were doing, but the latest ones I've seen are just ...mentally challenged. The girl in the commercial is attractive enough. I'll give her that. She's kinda funky and cool. But I swear if I ever saw anyone making those facial expressions and doing that stupid head-bob dance over fast food, I think I'd have to call the nice young men in their clean white coats to come and take her away, ha ha. The ranch dressing coating her lips in the last frame is just disgusting to me for some reason. I mean it literally makes my stomach turn. Don't know why. It's just gross.

Oy.

My questions ended abruptly when I looked out the window just now and saw a man walking through the parking lot in what looked like a bathrobe. He was way too old to be a student, and maybe it was a very peculiar trenchcoat thing he was wearing.. but it certainly looked like pajamas and a bathrobe to me.

God I love working at college. ;-D
