Commercials are pretty bad, too . . .

Personally, I am not on CBL or SAT, collecting my entertainment through local digital broadcast. I suppose there's not much of a market there for commercials, as many viewers probably can't afford anything better, or are actually too simple-minded to understand how it all works. It can get frustrating.

Well, I get the old 60s, 70s, 80s entertainment, which includes a lot of stuff I missed, in the military traveling the globe. The only trouble are the commercials they do manage to pick up:

I must be diabetic.
I must be cancerous.
I must be dying.
I must be dead.
I can't get a hard-on.
I can't catch my breath.
I can't get a date.

Once I saw an Eggo commercial. That was refreshing.

Occasionally, the older programs will throw in a few vintage commercials, which are now fun to see:

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...
My bologna has a first name, it's o-s-c-a-r...

Or the short infomercials for:

Dump cooking.
Copper pots-n-pans.
Helium-filled rubber balls.

Kinda numbs the daylights outa ya...

I usually wake up in time for bed.
