Advertisement Update

February 1, 2006

Who would think that I, a lover of politics, would skip the State of the Union Address? I just wasn't in the mood tonight. All the applause (hopefully?) gets on my nerves, so I just want an abbreviated report of what was said tomorrow when I am thinking more clearly. Which means after a cup of coffee. So, instead of thought-provoking TV, I watched reruns of sitcoms. And advertisements. Here's the official ADVERTISEMENT UPDATE. Oh, and ad execs, let's start putting those fancy college degrees to work, mmkay? I WILL NOT be purchasing: A Chrysler Pacifica, Cindy Crawford's Home line at Rooms To Go (and for good measure let's just go ahead and throw in everything at Rooms To Go), a Toyota Rav 4, any BellSouth bundling, a Ford Mustang (good thing I'm not in the market for a new vehicle!), Haverty's furniture, Krystal fast food of any sort, Brinks Home Security systems, KFC (the ad is so annoying that it makes the list two nights in a row), and the fish sandwich from Arby's for their weird use of fishnet stockings. I WILL be purchasing: Chilean fruit. Mmmm. And I don't even like healthy food. All they did was show pictures of fresh fruit, the Chilean country-side, and talk about how it is now summer in Chile. And in my cold, cold house, I felt happy for a brief moment. Good job! The SLIPPERY SLOPE: Subway (love the sandwiches, but it's time to lose Jared), Longhorn (love the steak, but you absolutely cannot keep that horrible song), and Zaxby's (I am going to pretend that I did not see the nice lady stuffing her face with wings for the camera.) Keep this up and my bank account will be in fine shape.
