professional, better quality, and most importantly, snazzier site!

Yes, you're right, the new site features my past greatest posts, without the awful ones, and all new
ones to come!

Come visit or I'll throw you into a vortex of lava for still being on this old site!

Weekly Rant: Commercials

Now, everyone hates commercials.
Kids seem to be the only ones who enjoy them -> Directly making parents cringe.

The latest commercial to baffle me was a Ford commercial. They were advertising a high RE-sale value against other cars. Doesnt that mean you are going to end up returning it? Hello!

If you are going to force people to watch ads, at least make it entertaining! Example: A new commercial shows a car doing 360's around a Christmas tree while wrapping the tree with lights. However, that is NOT going to make me instantly go out to buy the car!

Plus, to make it all better, ad-targeting based on the show you're watching is a flat out joke! I was in the room while someone was watching the show Jersey Shore (Don't make me do a weekly rant on that too....) and an ad came on for "The best pregnancy test!" Seriously?!

That's it, i'm done.....
