Me and Advertising

Now at an age when I start shouting at television programs. I am able to answer any advertising claim that I see on the television with a response of ‘oh, rubbish’ or words to that affect. It doesn’t matter what they are advertising, how good the deal is or the style of advert that was used; it still gets the same response. None of them really seem to make me think, “I’d like to buy that”. The distrustful, pessimistic, cynical or vulgar responses comes out. I’m not worried. For some of them, it’s the best response that they deserve. I don’t know what it is about adverts that I see today, maybe I’m just getting old. They just seem to be trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator. One that I watched tonight involved a man urinating against a tree. That’s all he did. The 30 second advert involved him urinating against a tree while he explained how the beer he drank only contained natural ingredients. That was it. After watching that, please don’t tell me that that advert was trying to be classy!

Turn that music off!

Once again I have housemates that no respect for other people.  It's ten to one in the morning and the music is still blaring outside my door.  Corrina and Sandra are outside again with their friends talking shit as usual and being extremely noisy.  They don't seem to think that there might be people trying to get some sleep.  No that would be too much.  I'm just so frustrated at the moment.  I have to be up early tomorrow morning an they won't turn the music off.  I can't wait until I leave this place.  I'm sick of having to put up with other inconsiderate people.
