It's obvious to me that as a society, we must surly be the most gullible human beings on the face of the planet. Last night while I was watching the final regular season NFL game of the year on Sunday night football, I witnessed a commercial that made me laugh and at the same time, made me feel a little embarrassed to be a consumer of the American entertainment industry. I don't recall the exact wording of the commercial, but the gist was this: a new diet program that involves going through the drive-thru at Taco Bell instead of your normal fast food place in an effort to lose weight. I'm not kidding. This gal on the commercial is suggesting we utilize the Taco-Bell drive through as part of our ongoing weight loss program. The thought that immediately occurred to me was, "ARE YOU STINKING KIDDING ME?" Could there be even one clear thinking person in America who is actually going to believe this? I literally thought it was a joke and kept waiting for some infomercial pitchman to come on and say something like, "Tune in this week while Senator's Harry Read and Barney Frank host Saturday Night Live!" That didn't happen and apparently it wasn't a joke which leads me to conclude, we must surly be the most gullible group of folks on planet earth!
Hey, I just thought of a great commercial for Macadoodle's (the highest volumn liquor store in the entire state of Missouri). They could do a commercial featuring some old fat guy with a red nose laying on a couch with one of those extra large bottles of Jack Daniel's in his hand, while he says, "I stopped drinking with the help of Macadoodle's. All I did was utilize their convenient drive through 3 times a day for 16 weeks, and just look at me now...I'm completely sober for the first time since 3rd grade!"
As they say, you can't make this crap up!
Now that's funny!
