Yeah, Right, Whatever: Micro Rants

Friday, August 24, 2007

Here are a few rants... 'cause they're on my mind, but I'm not feeling the need to expound on them.

Hardee's, with their continued use of amoral behavior (at best) in television commercials, has pretty much guaranteed that I'll never spend money in their restaurants. Ever.
Actually, stupid/ offensive/ annoying commercials in general are an easy way to get me to avoid your product like the plague. I still don't go to Quizno's thanks to those stupid zombie hamsters.
Ditto the VW Touareg "Safe Happens" commercials. (Cute little car- won't get one.)
And don't get me started on those "Viva Viagra" spots. Do they actually sell more little blue pills with that commercial?
Karaoke is still evil, and the sooner people realize that, the better the world will be.
Athletes are not role models.
Neither are actors and actresses.
FoxNews doesn't give legitimate news stories enough air time. They cut off interviews with knowledgeable guests at the most inopportune times, and then they don't return to the subject for an hour or so.
Putting a casino on top of a 17 inch water table doesn't make it a "boat on a moat," no matter what the gaming commission tells you.
Mosquitoes love me. And I hate them for it.
