Grrr...

I really hate commercials sometimes. They drive me batty! Maybe the country is stupider than I thought but, but people, come on and have some common frickin' sense. I recently saw an ad for Ambien, a prescription sleep aid. In the part of the commercial where they mention *possible* side effects, they mention that it might cause drowsiness. Gee, imagine that? A sleep drug that makes me drowsy. Who'da thunk it? Well, I'd hope it would make me go to sleep if I am paying big bucks for a SLEEP aid.

Ok, rant is over. Until the next stupid ad comes my way that pisses me off. Maybe I'll break down the "duck, duck, goose" one later.

I try to be stress free and not let it bother me too much also, but on the other hand, I just can't ignore it either. If I ignore it, more and more dumb ads will surface. I like to try and educate people to use critcal thinking skills when watching ads or tv and movies with the *hope* that someday there will be enough *smart* people to do something and make a difference. These marketing people play to the dumb audiences who can't think for themselves and I think it is really sad. I'm not an elitist or claim to be perfect, but I do want to help my community when I can.
