I got your attention didn't I?
I've spent 2 weeks at home over the holidays just chillin'. My resolution to clean house top to bottom has gone by the wayside more or less. What I have been doing is watching a lot of mindless television. This time of the year there are lots of marathons of shows like Bridezilla, Top Chef, and Clean House. In between there are some of the most annoying commercials I've ever seen. No wonder I usually only watch shows I've TiVo'd.
Commercials I've seen over and over include:
1. My favorite. A company where you can get a new catheter every time you need one so you don't have to boil, dry, and reuse your old one. Those nasty urinary tract infections are gone at last.
2. Shamwow - come on people, chamois cloths have been around for years and years. And their spokesperson is worse than Billy Mays.
3. Oxiclean, and I actually use this product. Why does Billy Mays have to shout during all his commercials? I can hear ya just fine dude!
4. Stop snoring solutions - mouthguards, nasal strips, you name it. Lose weight - you'll stop snoring and avoid the two payments of $29.95 for the stupid mouthguard.
5. Acne solutions of any kind. Seeing pimples and pus is just gross.
6. Nutrisystem - do I really need to be reminded of how much I've eaten on vacation?
7. Any ad that is at the bottom of the screen DURING a TV program. Even worse are the ones the shrink the screen top to bottom so we can concentrate better on the ad we didn't want to view in the first place.
Here's to mid-January when new shows start up again!
