TGIF! It’s time for our weekly, non-billable,  shoot-the-shit event. This week, I want to call your attention to commercial programming on the cable channels. Hey folks, I’m well aware that the population is getting older but WTF, I still rappel, shoot, run, bike and chase fury animals. So why am I being subjected to an endless parade of catheter commercials, leaking vaginas and erectile dysfunction, when I’m still capable of arousal that a cat can’t scratch and a squirrel can’t climb. Hell, I’m looking for a comfortable athletic supporter!

Now they’re showing miracle machines that you wrap around your ankles and the little blinking lights relieve your pain. Have you seen one of the newer ones? Are you ready for this? They’re actually selling a brain protein that makes you think better and faster – in the 60s they use to call it speed. Now they show some poor bastard who looks like he’s been freeze dried for the better part of his life, BUT OH Wait, after taking the protein he looks like someone flipped a switch and for the first time in his life neurons began working. The dude even squints as he discovers that he has a brain!

The latest one is a back surgery commercial. They have a male model that looks like he’s been run over by a steam roller, or thrown out of a gay bar, in a state of near paralysis. But wait, he discovered he can have back surgery from an institute that will only make a one inch incision at the base of his spine, and within minutes he’s up on his feet walking the dog, or swinging the clubs with William Devane pedaling gold bullion!

What the hell happened to Oscar Meyer Hickory Smoked Bacon, Windex, Mr. Clean or Dixie Lilly?

As always, let us know what you think. Have a great and safe weekend. Get out and do something with your buds or your family.

Have A Great Weekend!
