IT'S ANNOYING

There are commercials out there on the TV that seem to get reactions of annoyance out of me.

Case in point: the furniture salesman, everything he sells is $999, COMPLETE! He uses ordinary women he has a crush on and thinks it sells. It may. He used to use the NY Giants football team logo and adornments to associate himself with a winner, he hasn't this past year, the Giants were horrible.

Then there is Roberto. Roberto plays soccer for some team from somewhere. He's in town for some game Roberto is sculpted by Michaelangelo, chiseled from granite. He walks around the hotel he stays at in his underwear and does it after he's done eating. The hotel help takes his picture in his shorts so they send it out via I-phone to the world. Both men and women get excited, I don't, I think the cable provider who set this up needs to move on to another attempt to sell their service, not some soccer player in his skivvies.

There are SUV commercials that scare the Hell out of me. They depict superhuman events, space technologies that make the viewer wonder if they don't fly too. Superman flights and crazy racecar drivers turning and spinning, doing trick turns and stops. Will all this accommodate my granddaughter? How does it really handle in the snow, going uphill or on an icy road? Tell me that.

The country is so much into the world of technological advancements in audio and visual effects, it forgets about its real innovations that mean more than how high or fast the car flies.
