>>> stream of consciousness topic: television >>> if i was a girl i would never do any commercials for feminine hygiene products. that's just embarrasing. it would be bad enough to be known as the noxema girl [and we all know who that is], but to be known as the "mary, are you feeling fresh today?" girl would be totally unbearable. >>> if i see another eddie the echo mickey d's commercial, i'm gonna go allen iverson on somebody, i swear i will. >>> the definition of irony [an oft-discussed concept]: mark mcgrath dressed up like buddy holly doing the twist in a dr. pepper commercial while singing about being original. >>> i know info-mercial guy don lapri has a great get-rich quick plan and everything, but he's way too excited to be on late-night tv. "your very own world wide web site ... right on the internet" [his exact words]. gawd. are people really this stupid? i don't know. >>> why is catherine zeta jones doing cell phone commercials? >>> once again, my decision to abstain from television news shows has been reaffirmed. tonite, the top story was a boomerang convention in germany. and by the way, you news anchor people, YOU'RE NOT FUNNY, so please stop trying to be. >>> another thing that isn't funny: the entire carl's jr grilled onion cheeseburger ad campaign. >>> oh, and you tv network people, please stop filling your late night broadcasting slots with "home improvement". that show is almost as bad as touched by an angel.
