Commercials tell you a lot about the show you are watching

Did you ever notice how commercials tell you a lot about the show you are watching.

Wait a second I sound like fucking Andy Rooney. Shit.

Well anyway the commercials always fit the show. Football has beer and burgers and cars.
Lifetime has feminine products and beauty stuff. The old school places like TV land has the yogurt that makes you shit. The Comedy channel has Girls Gone Wild Videos and chat lines for horny guys whacking it in front of the TV. As does the E channel when the Girls next store is on.

But late night has seen a whole bevy of debt consolidation, and IRS problem solvers and corporate rescue companies on almost every show that airs after midnight. I guess they feel if you can't sleep you have money problems. It's very funny. Or maybe not. I don't know.

That always seems to be whatever show I'm watching. How do they know I'm a deadbeat?

Fox has erectile dysfunction commercials.

I would like to be referred to as Desdamona from now on.

thank you.

I have never seen an advert for 'feminine hygiene products' while viewing. According to Chuck Norris, that is a true sign of real manly TV watching. Woof.

Desdamona, were you in New Orleans at the Rock and Bowl Saturday Night? Great show, no?

Ya know I was just commenting to my son over the weekend as we were watching something on the Speed Channel & an ad for makeup came on that I thought it was a waste of money- how many women watch the Speed Channel anyway?

Or, conversely, how many men wearing makeup would watch the Speed Channel?

I always give my son a hard time as well as he watches Hanna Montana by pointing out that all of the commercials are aimed at 10 year old girls, so why in the wide world of sports is he glued to the TV?

You son sounds like a smart guy because now he can talk to all the girls about the show. Of course I hope is about 13 because if he is 30 then you have a problem.

Titus, my wife's cousin stars in several of the Viagra commercials. He is the guy who goes into the Victoria Secret and little devil horns come up over his head.

Boy do we bust his balls at family parties.

But he doesn't care, he just counts his residual checks.

Sorry I meant Desdamona.

The only commercials I like are the Geico Caveman commercials (which one of my co-workers says is racist. Honest to God) and the Don't mess with Sasquatch.

Other than that, I hate commercials.
