Television

Sooo..........I'm going back and forth between American Idol and the Olympics on tv and thinking about how weird commercials are. There are a few I enjoy right now, like the one with the doctors running out on the field with fireworks. It is the coolest thing!!! Anyways commercials are either one of two things, either so cool that you go tell yours friends about the greatest toilet paper commercial or so dumb that you whine about people talking to their mops and brooms. It is strange what makes a commercial good and what makes it lame. Stick a squirrel in it, it's good. Try awesome humor, it is just flat dumb. It's the odd things that seem to catch the appeal of the viewers, such as people hitting small animals, animals playing patty cake, or old men break dancing outside of buses. Often I turn on the tv just to watch commercials, half the time they are more interesting than the reality shows where Brenda is crying b/c she made a cake for a bachelor and he didn't like her. Though there are 50 others girls trying to get him and she can't even complete a sentence....hmm.....exactly. We much rather watch the squirrels. Now occasionally a few shows could catch the eye of audiences, like where a whole episode is dedicated to splashing slushies in peoples' faces. As if every teenager in high school drinks slushies daily, but it makes you wanna try it. (Please don't try this at school). Shows are either meant to makes us feel better about our lives or laugh a lot so we burn calories and forget about our problems. But next time you are watching tv, think about why you like the show or commercials.

get up and run,
