i bet most of you thought that this would be about pres. burton not granting me bereavement days because my "grandfather" dying has " around the word grandfather. although it's true, no, that's not the intent of this one.
i was watching tv last night and a commercial came on (i know shocking, but stay with me...) and during the commercial, the strangest thing happened. a little super-imposed graphic came up and said something to the effect of "press your little yellow triangle shaped button with an 'A' on it (it actually showed the picture of the button, but kinda hard here) for great rates!" so, i pressed the button. then it said something like "confirm: (same button description picture) cancel: (picture od little red round button with the letter 'C' on it) so i immediately pressed "c" holy crap. advertisers have invaded my tv......
in 20 years, all were going to have left is infomercials - and not the good food dehydrator/pasta maker/sleeps 8 camper all-in-one infomercials. everything will cost $19.95 and we'll eat nothing but beef jerky and home made ice cream. (not that i have anything against home made ice cream, but $19.95 for the little packages is kind of expensive. then again, $19.95 for a package of rea-d-dry meat-type product {this product contains no actual meat} is a bit steep too...)
we have to put a stop to this. call your local cable company ( www.timewarnercable.com )and make your voices be heard!!!
