Sorry, that was a poor attempt at humor. (Or being a social critic.)
I originally included the line: "Use the Force, Mac", but deleted it.

never tried that, but I use the farce a lot..

Yet you have to admit that much in our modern world is hyped beyond
belief, and most certainly beyond the item's true worthyness.
(Girls Gone Wild, Viagra, and Diamonds around the Holidays all come to
mind...)

For sure.. I won't watch anything on TV unless it's recorded and we skip
the
commercials..
Most of them are an insult to your intelligence and the rest are just
annoying..

My pet pi eve is that they've convinced folks that they smell bad and need
lots
of products to help.. and that "clean", which used to have no smell, IMO,
except
maybe sun drying, is now classified as one or more of many, many scents
that
make your clothes, hair, etc. smell like a perfume sampler in a department
store..


Was pushing my granddaughter in the buggy at the store last Friday, picking
up some fabric softener. A passing female about broke up when I asked my
year-old granddaughter if we should by "Spring Fresh," "Mountain Fresh," or
"April Fresh" fabric softener. April isn't spring here, in case you
wondered.

Only thing dumber than the "enhancement" and ED commercials are the Spams in
the morning mailbox. Anybody besides me getting spammed to death, not by
male products or penny stock stuff, but by Russian sites offering New Year
tours complete with tour parties?
