I Can't Watch TV Anymore!!!

I can't watch television anymore! Why? Well there are a lot of reasons. First of all, IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL GARBAGE!!!" There are no shows anymore...just hours upon hours of commercials! I mean it's bad enough that the so-called "TV shows"alone have no creative focus. Now we have these new breed of ads that are even worse. They would scream: there are thieves, criminals, and killers everywhere (example LifeLock and ADT) You have those ProActiv commercials that literally say "Use our product or you'll be alone for the rest your days!"  I'm just sick of the nauseating amount of commercials we have suffer through. Yeah just what we want to see 4 minutes of exaggerations, absurdity, fearmongering, and bullsh*t! We didn't subscribe to our cable companies to watch stupid company mascots, yuppie snobs nasilly boasting about how we're all disgusting pigs and losers, restaurants that use mean-spirited hypocrisy(i.e Subway), and Ashton Kutcher acting a jackass more than usual this time with a Nikon camera. Ads should not be more than 45 seconds, and four per break...THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE! However, I can't watch TV with comfort until there's reform. If I feel the need to be angry or frightened...I'll watch the goddamned cable news!

How 'bout a nut?

The only move you bust is usually a bowel movement.

Well hey...... BUST A MOVE!!!!

A little "anal', Thor?

Yes, I think they do assume that. Which is funny, because I almost never hear people under a certain age making fun of ALL of "that old black and white stuff." Instead, I hear older people ASSUMING that they're going to. If everyone under such and such age hates everything that's older, how is it that this country is still obsessed with Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe? So it doesn't make much sense to assume.

All I know is, the second meaning of "gay" has been run into the ground, and now there's a third one. And I'm kind of glad there's a third one, because it shakes things up.
