Some like getting goosed by the Golden egg. My pet peeve is all those ads plastered all over NASCAR cars. The way the drivers all have to show off their sponsor on their baseball cap and mention as many as they can while they're being interviewed about their driving. Makes me sick. Makes me long for the days when NASCAR cars were really stock and modified by the driver and his or her family.

You don't see me wearing any of those designer emblems or products tattooed on my arms except for that famous American designer, Jay Say Penn-yah.

Another one of your fine rants…

PS. “Subliminal” advertising is a bunch of bull ship. Just another one of those conspiracy theories that everybody loves to latch on to.

Were We ‘Sold a Bill of Goods’ That Just Continues On?

Is it Possible ‘Subliminal Ads’ Snuck Back on TV?

Would our ‘Beloved’ Guv’mint DO That to Us?

DUH?

I've gotten to the point where I now tape my favorite TV shows instead of watching them when they air. Why? Because when I tape shows, I can fast forward each and every damned commercial and not have to listen to them anymore.

Amazing how a so called hour long show is really only about 40 minutes long, with 20 minutes of B.S. commercials.
