Yesterday I popped onto Drudge and had to click away. The top ad banner was strobing like crazy...it hurt just to look at it.
And the advertisers just don't seem to get it when it comes to repeatedly hitting people over the head with commercials. The caveman ads you refer to are the ones from Geico right? Their entire campaign has been going downhill since they made that gecko talk in my opinion.
MI1 was fascinating for precisely ten minutes until Kirsten-Scott-Thomas got killed: then it was only "ok". MI2 was tedious right from the start. I do not plan to watch MI3
Whenever possible I record or time-shift shows on DVR just to be able to speed through the commercials. Even the mute button on live shows provides little relief when interminable commercials and inane promotions are repeated every few minutes.
I look forward to reading about the arrests over this incident.
If the cops blow up all L. A. Slimes newspaper racks it will be no loss.
But then the liberals will be said. But that may not matter soon. Did y'all see that Mexico is going to legalise most forms of currently illegal drugs, such as cocaine, marijuana and PCP? Before long, the Border Patrol won't just be dealing with Mexicans heading north, they'll be having to deal with Californians heading south.
I never saw the movie, but I remember the tape recorder at the beginning of the show saying that the tape will self-destruct in five seconds. That could be a big deal in a vending machine full of flammable newspapers!
