Before I get to my main complaint of the day, I want to wish you all a great Friday and a wonderful weekend to follow. Down here in the South, college football begins shortly and that is what you hear about all week long on the local sport news. I like college football just like everyone else but don't brow beat it to death, you are making me sick just like the constant weather news. While I'm on this roll please do not stop me because I'm going to attack some commercials that are irking me every time they come on the tube. Maybe that is why I try to watch educational TV rather than the local boob tube. Here come the victims of Joey Z's "Coup de Grace."
That "BUNDLE COMMERCIAL" - Hi we are your new neighbors, pie, puppy, my wife we all bundle. Sounds like something from the "Stepford Wives Movie." Bundle your butts off my porch and pronto. Now here is the kicker in this commercial it repeats itself again, please no more bundles.
THAT INSURANCE COMPANY - Nice try showing the things you protect against but enough is enough. Just tell the people your coverages and not have some nimyo finding his way out of a maze, the fiddler on the roof or the biggest hail stone in the world.
Let's get rid of Mr. Mayhem that annoying little man who wrecks chaos to those poor not fully covered insurance folk. The guy just annoys me to no end and maybe when they end his TV reign they will find a good way to end it. If not I'll be working on one.
Just the another night I heard at least five new commercials for some more "Reality Shows." I'm asking you how many do you really need and how could someone watch all of those shows. Get rid of some. Most of them are stupid and a waste of air time. Please send me your lists!
Beer commercials with those elegant looking gents and ladies all dolled up holding a bottle of beer and sneering down your face because you are not suave enough to drink their brew. Well South Beachies. I have a plan for the general man, a picnic table with an old fashion metal wash tub, filled with all kinds of my favorite cerveza's and in the company of his true friends.
For me the true reality show would be the "REAL RUNNING MAN." I wonder how many reality lovers would watch a real killing show? I'm guessing the majority would tune in to watch the worst murderers, rapists and child abusers suffer the real thing. One never knows what is in the real future of TV.
I have to calm down a little so if you have any commercials that need to see me wielding my ax send me your list and I will give you full credit in the next commercial post that I do.
Guys and Dolls have a great weekend and as always, please be careful out there.

How's about the commercials for a wonder drug that may cause, hot flashes, warts, hives, constipation, glaucoma, suicide or irritablilty? Of course that is followed up by a commercial for Dewey Cheatem & Howe's law firm just in case you took a drug so call .. 1-800-BAD-DRUG now! That will be followed by an ad for Capitol Health Systems (the old Helene Fuld), which I should check in at if I got the hives, warts and whatever. So, I turned on the News At 5, only to learn that Flo from Progressive went PMS and just got indicted for trying to hire a hit-man to rub out the GEICO lizzard. I thought we turned on the TV to relax not get the old dander up and away! Thanks for reminding me to retire my "MICHIGAN" t-shirt for the season. I can't get 5 yards without penalty, in Shop Rite without someone wanting to know "how the Wolverines" did this weekend?.

When I saw the commercial for "American Hoggers", or "Texas Storage Lockers", I gave up hope for our species. Hooooooo boy Billy-Joe Z, if we want guns to blast "wald pigs" alls we need to do is buy up all the storage lockers in the county. We need our own show. How about one on "American Lawn Mowers" the story of lawn tractors; gone bad and running wild.

My 23 horse Kuabota diesel can out run and out mulch your old John-Deere any time! :0
Skip, I was that hogger commercial last night, good as my redneck vacations. Don't laugh a lawn mower race reality show may be in the works. Saw another one last night. Kid in grocery cart begging Mom for a treat, finally she stumbles in front of the fruit roll ups and hands the kid a box, not even a word of kindness spoke by dear old Mom. May be I should start writing commercials.
I liked the Great Adventure commercial from the 1970s with the song "The greatest day in your life" and finally someone posted it on line. I love the net :))
Mack: That one must have came out after we moved to Florida. I went to Great Adventure a few times only.
