I guess all my talk of dogs made our google ads change to dog-related stuff, and lump-removal stuff. But one dog ad made me do a double take. I guess it was effective advertising, because it was sure tempting to click on it. The ad read something like:Your dog need help upstairs? Get harness available …

Me Talk Good, For Serious
First off I want to apologize for my lack of posts over the last few weeks. I can’t promise that things are going to get much better over the next little while because of Summer and circumstances, but come on, at least I’m being honest with you and making an attempt to appear as though …
And the Survey Says…
I happened to have the space channel on for a while, and I noticed a disturbing trend. I saw comercials in the same order. One for new skin bandages, one for Compound W, and one for sleep medications. Also in heavier concentrations than I’ve ever seen before were commercials for fast food, skittles, and computers. …
What’s Up with That?
I’ve noticed lately when I hear commercials for dog and cat food, they talk about the taste. How it tastes better than ever, how it’s the best food ever taste-wise. My question is, how do they know? It’s not like you can ask fido or spot which food he likes better and get a definitive …
I’m Frightened
I had the TV on, and on came an ad for something called Fruit2O. It was apparently fruit-flavoured water that doesn’t have any juice and is 0 calories. They call it fresh-picked water. So what exactly is that? It says doing something good for yourself never tasted so good. But what exactly are you putting …
Stupid Commercials
I had the radio on and I heard a commercial that stopped me in my tracks. It was a commercial for some charity called Operation Eyesight. Apparently this dude feels like he’s making a difference because he’s giving money every month to them and they help prevent eye diseases in developing countries, and if he …
Something’s Wrong with this Picture
I was lying in bed last night and I had the TV on, and I heard something that kinda freaked me out. An oil of ole commercial came on, and that seemed ordinary enough, until I heard what they were selling. I think everybody knows what Oil of Ole is, right? They make stuff to …
Arthritis Pain? What Arthritis Pain?
I was watching some TV the other day, and one of those commercials came on for a prescription drug that comes on if you’re watching an American channel. Ya know the ones. Some music and a voice saying, “insert medical condition getting you down? Are you not able to do the things you could do …
Chilling Thoughts
I don’t know why I find this so scary. But here we go. Off on another strange jog through Carin’s mind. I had the TV on, and this commercial came on for this new weird thing that some company has that makes air fresheners. Anyway it’s a disk and you put it in this special …
Irony
As I look at our new fangled google ads framy thing, I am struck by something that makes me laugh. This is a site run by three people who couldn’t drive if they wanted to, at least I’m pretty sure that Matt couldn’t and if anyone gave either Steve or I a license, it would …
