Commercials

You know me and commercials. I love a good one . . . though they're few and far between these days. I saw one last night for Outback Steakhouse that just set my teeth on edge.

It's our anniversary, they proclaimed (or maybe it was birthday). And our gift to you is this new wonderful dish.

Except . . . you have to pay for it, of course. Probably somwhere between $10 and $15.

And if you have to pay for it, it AIN'T no gift.

That one ticked me off almost as much as the one for yet another bogus weight-loss supplement in which they loudly say, "WE COULDN'T SAY ON TV IF IT WASN'T TRUE." Give me a freakin' break.

Just how stupid do these ad people think we are???

On the other hand, the Enzyte people hit the jackpot in my opinion with their Smilin' Bob commercials. I've loved those since the very first one, and they just keep getting better.

Can't say that too often about anything on TV. Rachel9:00 AM
