I repeat

 Sometimes commercials really bother me

    I mean, really bother me.  Commercials in general bother me, but some really, really bother me.

    For example:  People with coffee cups that obviously have no coffee or anything in them.  At least put water in so it looks real.  It is not only commercials where I see that and I cringe every time.  Jackie gets tired of hearing me complain.

    The one that really got to me lately was a Tide commercial.  A woman comes into her house carrying a paper bag full of  groceries and there is a huge container of Tide at the top.

    Really?

    What kind of idiot packs a grocery bag with heavy items on the top?

    For that matter, who puts a big container of detergent in a bag?  Use the freakin handle!

    I am not up to date on modern culture.

    So when they have celebrities in ads, I have to ask, "Who's is that person?"

    Some I do know, John Legend, Patrick Mahomes, Shaq,  but there are a lot I don't know.  I think they should put the performers' names in commercials.  Like in a movie.  The part of the guy jumping over grocery bags is played by Patrick Mahomes.  The part of the spokesman in the State Farm commercials is Patrick Mahomes.  And on and on.

    Yes, I would like to try the Papa John's Shaq attack pizza, but we don't have one in town and I don't want to drive to DeKalb for a pizza.

    Don't get me started on car commercials where smug looking people drive polluting cars through pristine streams, across fragile dessert ecosystems, or up to mountain tops where they joyfully laugh as if they were better than the rest of us.

    I guess they are though.  They are in the commercial, raking in the big bucks, while I am complaining about empty coffee cups.

    But somebody's got to do it!

Peace and Love
