JERRY, YOU MUST COME UP WITH A WORD AS RARE AS caterwauling TO DESCRIBE RESULTS OF YOUR ADVANCING AGE. I THOUGHT I HAD THE CURMUDGEON TITLE RESERVED FOR ME. THE BUTCHERING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM COULD BE CURTAILED IF THE MEDIA CARED WHETHER MAINSTREAM AMERICA WAS OFFENDED. BEGINNING WITH THE MR. WIPPLE COMMERCIALS; THEY DON'T. NOW ON YOUR SUPPERTIME VIEWING FARE, YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF TROJANS AND THE AMAZING VARIETY THAT IS AVAILABLE. THAT MAY BE PRECEEDED OR FOLLOWED BY ADS FOR FEMININE PRODUCTS. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS ALL IN THE SAME CATEGORY OF LACK OF JUDGEMENTAL APPROPRIATENESS AND IF YOU CAN PAY THE BUCKS TO BUY THE TIME, THERE IS NO STANDARD TO WHICH ONE COULD BE EXPECTED TO ADHERE. ON A LOCAL LEVEL ON RADIO, WE HAVE ELLIS LAW FIRM COMMERCIALS WITH THE PHONE NUMBER REPEATED MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES. IT ONLY STRENGTHENS MY RESOLVE TO NEVER USE OR PATRONIZE A BUSINESS THAT IS SO OFFENSIVE WITH THEIR COMMERCIALS. ANYWAY I EXPECT YOU TO COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT TITLE FOR YOURSELF.

Am I becoming a curmudgeon at such a tender age? I so enjoy going to this facility [the former Ice Palace] for hockey games. It is extremely pleasant to be ushered to your seat by staff dressed in tuxedos. White gloves, even! Hey, I have to get back to my game. I'm listening to it on NHL.com's radio broadcast through my computer speakers and headset. Join me for a good game, everyone. > >Jerry (W-59) |
