Is It Just Me?

Family, Lose Weight, Find Buried Treasure, and Get a Life!, Relationships, The Self Designed Life, anxiety, stress

   The time has come to rate commercials for the public good.  No, I’m not worked up that second graders talk casually about ED: “What? A four hour WHAT?    I’m going to stay a kid!”

I think consumers deserve a warning.  What I’m talking about is the current trend of showing giant, ugly, squirmy bacteria on all sorts of surfaces.    Sheesh.  I can’t hit the clicker fast enough.  Tell me these are giving kids nightmares.

At least we’re past flu season so we can stop hearing about (and seeing–life size) “mucous.”  Did you even talk about mucous before last winter’s barrage?

I want a heads-up.  “Warning:  the following commercial contains disgusting images that may offend normal people.   . . . particularly, those eating.”

Of course, I do notice that the ads on my favorite shows go for a certain under-employed, under-educated, and under-socialized demographic.  So, maybe it’s not for me to say.
