Blah-ditty-blah

so i'm experiencing a little technical difficulty in the movie blog. when i copied and pasted. . . my apostrophes aren't being read by the new skin. . . i'll work on it. . . bit by bit.

i remember i had a topic this past weekend that i wanted to broach, but i can't remember the entirety of it. . . so what i'm left with is this nagging anger towards a few selected commercials. . . but i don't remember all the ones i was really bothered by. the one that i somewhat remember is some suv commercial. . . . by the way i HATE suvs. but the company went on and on about the vehicles off roading capability. . . and all the special features it has. the tag line was something like. . . 'we just don't understand why all cars don't meet the same standards"

well. . . i'll tell you something. like most vehicle owners, suv owners included, i drive my car on these things called ROADS. about 98 percent of the time this consists of pavement that avoids dangerous rocky terrain or extreme inclines. so all that extra stuff being put into the particular suv would be going to waste on a customer like me. and quite frankly, it's going to waste on probably 90 percent of suv owners. being out here in the southwest there is a higher population of people who do offroading. . . but many of them spend lots of time and money building and tricking out their own vehicles. what good is an automobile that gets less than 28-30 miles to the gallon these days? disgusting!

they take up too much room on the roads. . . and too much room in parking lots. when you are behind or across from one, you can't see beyond it as to what is coming or what is ahead. sorry. . . did i mention already that i really dispise suvs?

the other commercial that comes to mind are the lame nextel commercials. . i think, i'm not quite sure, but i think that they are advertising a cell phone that has some sort of walky talky capability. if that is so, then these commercials are inane. all of the people in the scenarios, using the phones, are within a five foot distance from one another. does this mean that nextel's phone works as a walky talky when users are at a distance no greater than that used during a common conversation? wow. . . great product. where can i get me one? wonder if it's for the not so smart trekky fans who want to feel like they are using a communicator, and don't realize that pretending to talk into their cheap digital watches would be just as effective and less costly?

i'm sure there are more. . .but i can't remember.

perhaps to be continued later.

"and we'll be saying a big hello to all intelligent life forms everywhere . . .and to everyone else out there, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys."
