When they invented the video cassette recorder, the designers eventually came out with a neat idea. They designed a nice device, usually black in color, though sometimes gray, and about one foot in length. It's a nifty device with a lot of buttons built nicely into its front panel. What is this device used for? Some have different ideas, but I have this one:

If you glance over the buttons on this nifty device, you'll most likely notice a layout in which there are two arrows, one pointing to the left and another pointing to the right. Sometimes they are located towards the bottom of the device, but on many newer ones, they are sometimes seen to the right and left of a circular pattern, at times with a button in the middle. There is a vital reason for the creation of this device.

Some might think this device was created to operate a cassette tape. Well, it really was, but it has a side effect the entertainment industry doesn't want you to know about.

For you see, it is now really easy for anyone to record all their favorite shows onto a cassette tape. By doing this, you can always watch your shows at any time you so like, and you can even record them at any given time with most recorders. Once you have mastered the art of recording your favorite shows, then the best function of this device comes while you watch them.

You can now turn any one-hour show into a show that lasts approximately forty-five minutes. How, you might ask? It's simple, and all you have to do is press the button on your little device with the right arrow ( -->). This right arrow denotes forward, and once it is pressed, you'll notice the tape forwarding on your television screen. You should see a group of lines rapidly moving across your television screen. You press this very arrow only when the commercial, or advertisement, has started. Once you notice the ads are completed, then you just press the stop button. This is usually the button with the square marking in its mid-section. Some of these devices actually say what the buttons are for, "forward," "rewind," "stop," so that makes it easier for those people out there who're symbolically deficient.

For me it is all of those 'fountain of youth' ads, ie 'REGROW YOUR HAIR!', 'RESTORE YOUR MANHOOD!', etc, ads that are aimed at aging Baby Boomers. :x

They come on, the receiver goes to a different station.

Yeah, I tried that tag body spray. I stripped naked and went downtown and sprayed it on myself. The only women I attracted were the cops who came to take me away.

Enough said.
thers 2 new ones now that play rigt after that one, freedom hemmorriod cream

freedom hemmoriod cream and the joint pain one forgot name but at end says apply were it hurts,

these are ususally played 3 times in a row starting with headon then the sports joint pain thing then the hemmorriod cream.

another commercial i hated was for peoplepc online with the stick figures dropping doller signs into garbage cans and that weird music.

that commercial annoyed me the most when my dad was mad about aol then he found out that peoplepc online is dialup only and i told him look it will do same thing as aol with slowness accept that is just a way to connect. he found verizon dsl as best option when he asked about it and i also looked at reviews on peoplepc online and seen about the outsourced tech support and ways of dealing with people who dont pay(they take away machine). and ways they bother you (similer to aol's billing and cancel problems)

Frosties "it's gonna taste great". Everything about that ad bugs me. Not least how such a vast and wealthy corportation as Kellogs couldn't find a songwriter good enough to actually write lyrics that made some kind of logical sence... Who eats Frosties off a plate? Who are they trying to sell to? Cats?! Oh, and dump the "kid"... I swear he looks older than me... It's creepy.

The commercials I can't stand are the kids' cereal commercials; I think they're trying to trick little kids to get the cereal, as in the Trix commercial with the humanoid rabbit; also the head on and this one Dairy Queen commercial that had men dancing next to cows with some song on it and at the end of it, it said "Milk...shakes" and I thought it was disqusting. Also, there was one period commercial where they made a metallic ball move around on a sanitary pad like a pinball machine. I think commercials have really gone down the tubes nowadays.

I also can't stand the Kids' Bop commercials either; who would want music sang by kids so you couldn't hear the original people singing the song anyway? I despise the V Smile video games too; I think they're trying to make Nintendo go out of business. Why can't parents buy Mario and Yoshi games for their kids; they're for everyone so why not?
