TV Commercials

Commercials on television are another annoyance to me. Remember, grumpy old men do not like to be annoyed.

I saw a commercial early thing morning that offered some medicine to cure something. The drug disclaimers included; the product was only for those over 75 years of age. How does the drug know if you’re 75? I suppose that if you take it the day before your 75^th birthday, it won’t work.

Then there’s the buy one and get one free stuff. Is that better than a 50% off sale? What if you don’t need two? Usually, I don’t need one, so I save 100%.

Why is almost every product on the cable channels $19.95 plus shipping and handling? Wait! If you order now, you get a second one for free (see the paragraph above). Of course, you will be charged for the shipping and handling on the "free" one.

Do people really believe that if you buy a product that you get anything free? That’s a rhetorical question. I mean, if you remodel your home, you get a $500 gift card. Really???????

I don’t watch much TV because the commercials drive me crazier.

I think now you can get 100 year financing on a new car.

Better get one before the offer expires.
