Does no one else have time to think of these things?

Hello, my loyal fans. Its time for my first new post of the year. Many things have happened since my last (a successful promise ring gift, an unsuccessful attempt to be civil to soon-to-be ex-roommates, a rather successful attempt to kill a few brain cells), but I am going to keep this one simple with a complaint about commercials.

Has anyone seen the new Price-Waterhouse spots with Sam Waterston? Its all pretty standard stuff ("My mortgage company gives money to terrorist organizations and Martha Stewart!", "My mortgage company anally raped me with their barblike penises, then stomped on my head until I thought I was an ewok!", "My mortgage company, Price-Waterhouse, got me a million dollars, and beejays by ten of the twelve top Penthouse Pets!"). Then Sam Waterston is standing somewhere telling us how P-W is the key to immortality. While he is giving his spiel, the shot keeps jumping between three cameras, and he doesn't move. Are they trying to make this seem behind the scenes? Why don't they just have a shot of him getting a fat check from P-W? It seems to me very disillusioning, and I would seriously look at my ad company.

Then again, have you seen some of the commercials out there? Some are great (Sonic guys) but most are crap. I know this is an old old old old complaint, but really! I think we are all pretty decided as to what and where we will shop, and for how much and what not. Ads are the ONLY WAY we will change our minds. Are these people really putting their hat in the ring with "Zoom zoom?" Two thumbs down, says I.
