We've got them here in Chicago as well and they can't stop running them. The theory behind them is that A) They don't immediately sound like commercials and are listened to more carefully B) They sound like people talking around a water cooler about their favorite shows C) People want to have their own jobs with water coolers where they can waste time talking about TV Advertising. Go figure. Those ads, sadly seem to work. We’ve got them here in Chicago as well and they can’t stop running them. The theory behind them is that

I can never tell if they intentionally insulting my intelligence to cater to the knuckledraggers in the audience, or if they themselves are just incompetent morons who put forward this kind of disingenuous crap because they can't manage better. TV is even worse. Apparently, no matter which car I am to own, it is of paramount importance that I be notified that, if I <em>did</em> buy the Suzuki Grand Cholo Wagon, I could easily perform a base jump from a cliff before I went offroad through the Grand Canyon on the way to work, or that my Lexus SUV will make a segment of metropolis erupt from the earth every where I drive, or that simply touching a Nissan Maxima will send me into a state of pure ecstasy. Yes, yes, I do grasp the metaphorical aspects of such advertising. I also fully understand that owning a H2 will make my penis seem larger to women.

The script-readers are such complete dip shits. "Oh my God. Did you see My Name is Earl last week? Jason Lee is so funny. I could watch this show 24 hours a day. And then watch Medium the other 8 hours in the day." "There are only 24 hours in a day, silly! But I would totally watch The Office for 32 hours." "That's because you're a anti-social freak just like me!" "You're right, I can't even pay a woman to have sex with me!" That's how the one *I* heard went. *Bashes head on desk* I know what commercials you’re talking about and I HATE them. The script-readers are such complete dip shits.
