TV Disaster: Stupid shows, more stupid commercials!

I have personally never been able to really justify the bill that I pay for my cable TV services. The thing about cable TV is that there is nothing good one when you can actually watch TV. Of course, good programs are onwhen you are at work or asleep. But how stupid have commercials gotten these years. I have seen pretty much everything from cavemen to animals talking with British accent about car insurance. But when you put a fat lady as the spokesman for a weight loss program, it just goes on to show that these people think of us viewers as complete idiots.

Now it doesn’t take a genius to realize that a weight loss commercial would be more effective if you actually use a fit person (preferably someone who has been fat before and lost a lot of weight). But what message are you sending if you use a fat person for your weight loss program (that you will lose weight even though our system doesn’t even work for our so called spokesmen?). Now that’s what I call a stupid commercial. But then again there is the gecko.
