Hey again, Wildfire9 here! I stayed home from school today, being quite sick (with mono, enlarged lymph nodes, the usual), so I decided to write an article. The Price is Right and soaps are getting a little boring so I came downstairs to my freezing basement to write this.

But as I was watching my TV, I saw about 1000 commercials. I watched an infomercial with Tony Little who practically screamed my ear off along with the OxiClean Man. I craved for a "New Premium Salad" from MickeyD's but ate dry toast instead. I almost ordered the "Pasta Pot Pro Cooker", except I'm not a noodle person. I sang the Extra "Angry Gum ball" and the Joe Boxer, "There's More to Life Than Underwear" songs. The other day on MTV every commercial was that ugly guy for "Battle of the Sexes Finale". Oh, and guess what! Two out of three people own an appliance from Sears. How 'bout that!

It gets sad when your little brother recites the sayings over and over, word for word. Maybe he should just get out more...

And he does get out, sees a movie once in a while. But wait! There are commercials there, too!

A little while ago I was watching Good Morning America. They interviewed this couple who was suing a major movie theater for PUTTING COMMERCIALS BEFORE MOVIES! They think they have a point: "I pay for the movie and not commercials." Yeah, pft! If they did away with commercials, I bet it would be $20 a ticket to see movies!

WAIT!!!! You people pay for cable! Aren't there commercials on that too? So are you paying for commercials on TV? I don't see these people suing the cable company!

Think about it. What would you do without commercials? It's kind of a part of our lives.

=P
This is Wildfire9... signing off! *cLiCk*
