Watch a Red Sox game on NESN or listen to one on WEEI.  The thing they have in common, terrible and overly cliché commercials.  (I had to use the character mark to obtain that accent on cliché, if anyone knows an easier way of doing so, I appreciate the help.)  Some of these insult the intelligence of their audience so badly, that I am pretty sure I will go out of my way to not use any of the services being advertised for.  For example, Bob's Discount Furniture.  Not only will I not buy this douchebag's products, I would probably be forced to attack him if we ever crossed paths, using only my index finger.  I hate this guy, and the assholes from Tarbox Jeep and Marty's USRV, etc. etc.  This shit would have flown in the 80's, which is part of what made the decade so great.  However, reminiscing of the decade while watching I love the 80's on vh1 and thinking you can pull off that style 16 years later is absurd.  Commercials piss me off, which is pathetic but at the same time gives me something to hate which does not affect anyone in any significant way. 

It only took two weeks for me to blog this time as opposed to over a month.  In some circles, this is what is referred to as "progress".
