Don't Sit Too Close, It Might Rub Off On You!

In this world of Buffy's, Dawson's, Felicity's, and Reality shows...we can't watch anything without barfing. Or maybe it's just me.

DAWSON'S CREEK, FELICITY, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Ahhhhhhhhh What's the POINT?!!?!!? I just want to know why all these shows are even on the air. It's just, I can't even say how stupid and pointless they are. Come on, a blonde bimbo fighting off vampires? Yeah right. Har har har. I'm just waiting for one of those vampires to just bite her damn head off! That will be an episode I will tape and watch over and over and over and over...And do you hear the language the people use on "Dawson's Creek?" No, I'm not talking about cussing, I'm talking about the big words they use. HAH I doubt they know what half of those words mean. "Yeah well Dawson, you are just an overzealous cumbersome assinine hypocrisy and I hope you ..um..I forgot."

Survivor Africa. Did anyone even watch it?? I heard nothing about it *Silently thanks the gods*

And who can forget the stimulating commercials? These manufactured families that do everything together in commercials is just that: Manufactured. Take for instance, the Pillsbury commercials. What the hell is so special about biscuits and rolls? Nobody gets this happy over bread, or at least, no one in his or her right mind. All these wholesome families getting giddy over Pillsbury dough is just bogus. At my house, half of us aren't even eating at the same time, let alone crying because we have such good biscuits.

Another beef I have to pick with commercials are the ones showing baby's rear ends. Who honestly wants to see this? A bunch of babies running around bare assed is not what I care to see, sorry. I don't think it's appealing, nor do I think it's cute. What about these children when they get to be teenagers? "Oh mom, that baby that's naked on television looks familiar?" "Oh honey, that's you." Now watch the teenager run out of the room, mortified, because her ass is still being shown on television.

Why is it that in beer and soda commercials, the drink automatically makes you more popular and all of the sudden, girls in bikinis and good-looking guys come out of nowhere. I sit at home with the same exact drink in my hand and wonder why people aren't dancing and singing around me. Where the hell are my men too? I have that drink. People should like me too!! Oh well.

While we're on the subject of commercials, there's another important point that I believe needs to be made. I don't think commercials for diet aids and breast enhancers should be able to have actors playing real doctors. That is dangerous, and incredibly misleading. I wonder how many people are gullible enough to think that just taking a pill is going to make you lose weight or grow your breasts. Commercials should not make false claims.

A quick final note about these commercials. SOME commercials we could all do without:
yeast infection commericals
herpes commercials
pregnancy test commercials
Viagra commercials
Pad/Tampon commercials
"Girls Gone Wild" ads
1900WetFox commercials (and other fake phonesex lines)

But of course, that's just my opinion...and while it's a good one, it's not the only one.
