Goodbye Cable
Well, this will be the last full day of cable, tomorrow it gets disconnected. That will be $51 less I have to pay each month. Less of my brain that gets fried from watching the idiotic shows that fill 90% of tv programing.
Last year I disconnected it for about a month or so. Richard couldn't stand being without it even though the only thing I ever heard all day, every day, was how there was nothing good on tv and that he never watched it. If he wants it turned back on this time, he'll have to pay the bill and pay to get it hooked back up and pay the monthly bill. Because I sure as hell wont miss it and maybe when we get some competition and they either lower the rates or offer better channels, I May consider getting it hooked back up again, but for now, I don't have the money or desire to pay $50 bucks for this crap.
Still, there is a few shows I will miss. Good Eats, Mythbusters, No Reservations, Bizarre Foods, and a few others. But I can live without them, and I can always watch clips on the internet :)
There is one thing that I will NOT miss at all. One thing that I will thankfully have out of my life (well at least until I go see a movie in a movie theater). That thing is of course...
COMMERCIALS
ARGHHH! I swear they are getting stupider, sicker, and more ignorant every day!
-The new Netflix commercial that has this "Stepford Wife" with this fake plastered smile and blank, vacant stare saying how getting netflix movies in the mail or on the internet makes their life perfect. Ugh... that is one of the dumbest, most insulting, and just plain awful commercial ad campaigns there is. Yeah, thats a greeeaaat Idea, lets associate Netflix with an awful movie and a totally insulting concept of rich white men making their "perfect" wife.
-The new sour skittles commercial showing an old, creepy, shirtless man attached to a milking machine eating sour skittles and his "boss" coming by and wondering why the "milk" tastes sour. There are so many things wrong with that commerical that I don't even know where to begin. Thanks Skittles, now whenever I think about your product I'll envision an old white creep attached to a milking machine, yeah that'll make me want to just rush out an buy your product.
-Of course everyone already knows how I feel about the Geiko Caveman, Orville Redenbocker's creepy "CGI- Orville" and the Hi-def commercials featuring washed up actors "de-aged" and using the characters that made them famous to sell television sets. (just in case you don't know... I absolutely f@cking HATE THEM!!!)
I could go on an on and on (and on and on and on just like the commercials) about crappy, ignorant, and just plain moronic television commercials, but I am sure everyone already feels pretty much the same way, and I'll just make myself mad *lol*
