Disclaimers
Watched a commercial for bike helmets. It told me that it was cool to wear Bell helmets, and that I could eat as much dirt as I wanted to as long as I wore a helmet, and I'd then still have room for dessert. So wear a Bell helmet and you can fall down as many times as those stupid kids in the commercials who were doing stupid bike stunts in the first place.
Picked out two disclaimers:
1) Helmets do not prevent all or serious injuries.
So what's the fucking point?
2) (As a guy rides a bike off a huge cliff) Professional rider do not attempt.
Bet the helmet can't help with that one :D Anyway, I think that commercial pretty much dis-claimed all its claims. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that even though it's a commercial for Bell brand helmets, it's being discounted or paid for by the federal government as part of the station's mandatory public service announcements.
Also, anyone noticed those Mini commercials where they advertise fake shit like a video about fake Mini Coopers or a novelty car horn? Aren't they fucking stupid?
Then there's those really creepy commercials for Tom Goes To The Mayor on Adult Swim.
And let's not forget those fake Geico commercials where they're advertising one thing for about 15 seconds, and then they fool you by saying "I've got great news! ..." and it's really a car insurance commercial.
Am I the only one who's staring at these commercials and feeling as if television has become as surreal, scary, confusing, and disorienting as a bad acid trip? Am I the only one who feels stoned when watching television?
Oh yeah, and Bush keeps telling us that it's drugs that will turn our minds to mush.
Oh, and in the ultimate stupidity, I heard on CNN today that the stupid fucking "Crazy Frog" ringtone has become a #1 hit single in Britain. I'm gonna go eat some Scooby Doo acid sheets just so that everything will seem normal.
