I was sitting in front of the television tonight watching smallville and a McDonald’s commercial came on. Once again a commercial stating what you can and can’t do with a $1.00. The lightbulb kicked on. They claim in these commercials that you can actually buy stuff for $1.00, but you can’t. Yes, they have a $1.00 menu, but they charge you a dine tax or a carryout tax, so no matter what you are still not getting anything for only a dollar. So here’s what I suggest. On Saturday the 27th I say we all walk into our local McDonald’s and demand that they sell us a chicken sandwich for exactly $1.00. It would seem to me if they don’t it’s false advertising, isn’t it?

Who’s with me?!?

What is the fascination in reality shows? I broke down last month and watched that show about Deion and Pilar just out of curiosity. I was horrified. There was Deion zooming around his house on a scoother, Pilar was hiring help and spending money out the wazoo just to prove some point that Deion didn’t realize what she was worth. It was stupid. There are people in this world who aren’t sure where their next hot meal is coming from and those are two blowing money on stupid stuff. Nobody needs a house that big. You don’t go out and spend thousands of dollars hiring household help just so you can show your husband how much it costed. She has everything in the world and wants more.
Then there’s the new George Foreman show. I haven’t watched that show yet, the previews for it were enough to lower my opinion of George and his wife. In one preview she says her son can’t play football that year. “He has you, he has me, he doesn’t need football”. What? Then there’s George, he sounds like an overbearing horse’s butt in the commercials. His daughter wants to sing and he just keeps putting her down. My Dad wasn’t perfect, but he never would have put me down. No matter what I tried to do, he was always in my corner cheering me the loudest. Shame on you George.
Tori and Dean, I’ve actually watched this one a few times. They do seem to be a little more down to earth, they don’t live in some 6000 square foot house that you need a scooter to get around in. In one show Dean actually took a job I believe in Canada that he didn’t want to because he knew he had to support his family. I liked that. I was totally disgusted over the birthday part they throwed for a 1 year old, but at least Dean was against it. One of them showed some common sense. I mean come on, a huge part for a 1 year old??? Does anyone even remember their very first birthday?? Can you imagine how many people they could have helped with the money from that party?
I could go on listing these shows but the bottom line is quit being stupid people.
