As Seen On TV

Yeah, I'm back to watching Mindless Drivel on the panel with the sound down. The good thing is, though, that the sound's down. Bad thing, though, is with the sound down I can REALLY focus on how inane some (most?) commercials are. At this point I'm not sure what's more ridiculous -- the commercials, or the fact I'm even attempting to watch them.

And, right off, we have the WaxVac. Starts off with some idiot jamming a Q-Tip into his ear like he's trying to open a beer. And, of course, it hurts. The solution? This little device that looks like a disintegrator ray gun that you jam in your ear, then vacuum out the problem substance(s). And, that is better than using a Q-Tip. Uh huh.

Looks like fully half the ads I'm seeing out there involve an iPhone, iPad, or i-Whatever.

Ah, and there goes the woman with the ultra-stylized Dyson vacuum thingies. Wonder why they never have guys demonstrating the things?

Oh, yeah, and here's Justin Bieber alongside Edmund Gwenn (as Santa Claus from Miracle on 34th Street) advertising for Macy's. Poor Santa.

And then there's Campbell's Soup. If you eat their new, healthy line, you can be a synchronized swimmer or tap dance.

Looks like most of the ads are either for food and/or tech. Yeah, sounds about right.

At any rate, I'm hungry now. Gonna get a pizza and play Angry Birds.

'til next time... Adios.
