Things That Make Me Go..ICK!

I had planned to write my post today about a tag that I received, however, for whatever reason, my camera and my computer have decided not to play "nice" together and my computer will not read my camera disk, thus making it impossible for me to do what I was going to do. Does that make sense? Anyway,.. I have been goofing around with both my camera/disk, and computer for way too long this morning, so, now that I'm thoroughly frustrated, I thought I'd post about things that drive me a little bit nutty, just because it seemed fitting!



I have noticed lately a few advertisements and products on television that have that certain gross out factor. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. See what you think, okay?



There is a new commercial for Viagra, which, doesn't exactly gross me out, but I think it's rediculous. I actually thought it was a commercial for a motorcycle initially. It starts out with a husband and wife coming home from work day after day, same routine, waving to each other from the driveway and the car. Then, one day the husband pulls up on a Harley, the wife looks all, "Oh, no he didn't!", and hops on the back and off they go into the sunset, or so we think. But, wait! The next scene shows a motel of some sort, I'm assuming that's what it is with a number on the outside of the cabin, then you see the light being turned off. The rest is up to our filthy imaginations, apparently! Really, I don't need a small docudrama to show me how some poor guy with E.D. changed his life with a little blue pill, seriously!

Last night my husband and I were watching the news and a commercial for Charmin toilet tissue came on. I happen to like Charmin, it is the brand we use (more than you probably wanted to know about my family!). It shows these bears and one is vacuming the butt of another bear. (No, I did not make that up, honestly!) It then goes on to say that "No one likes having tissue left behind" and the "New and Improved" Charmin is less likely to pell up on your privates. Gross! Um,..yeah, I never thought to whip out the 'ol Hoover vacume and suck the pelled up toilet tissue off my family members hineys, not once! There are just some things that are better left unsaid, thank-you very much! (I'm thinkin' if that's a problem for someone, a good shower or bath would be in order, I'm just sayin'.)

Another television commercial that totally grosses me out, like gag time, is the ad for Kentucky Fried Chicken "Bowls". (feeling a little green just thinking about it) Let's see,...What can we do with all the left over chicken tenders, mashed potatos and corn from the day before? I know! Let's pour it all together in one messy bowl of slop and we'll tell people it's a special new dish we've come up with! Hey, and just so they don't get suspicious, let's pour cheddar cheese all over the top of it, people love that kind of stuff! (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit, sorry.) I just know someone is going to write to me and tell me that they love these things,..I just know it! You'll never convince me, nope!

And, last but not least! I think if there are elderly people in this world that are in love, it's a beautiful thing, truly! I just don't like to watch those denture commercials where the old folks are making out in the back of a taxi, I mean, like really going at it, and then the announcer says, "I bet you can't guess which one of them is wearing dentures, can you?" Gag, puke, hurl, bleck!!!! I don't want to know, stupid announcer man! Now I'm thinking about the inside of elderly peoples mouths and wondering if they're able to french kiss with dentures in their mouths and all that glue and stuff, egads! Bad mental image,..make it go away!!!




Well,...I could probably go on as there are more things that I personally think are just wrong, but I'll spare you any further disturbing thoughts! Now I'm off to figure out what is wrong with my bleepin' camera, hopefully. I think electronic devices are pure evil right about now, they're out to ruin my life! (such a drama queen!) ;o)
