They figure subtly clever ads won't make you stop fast forwarding to see what they're hawking, but creepy anthropomorphic angel numbers will. Which is true! The first time. After that, it just makes that vein in my eye twitch.<BR/><BR/>(Also, hey, welcome back stateside!)smdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311894934785783085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529113254773726217.post-69532138197507580072008-12-24T13:27:00.000-05:002008-12-24T13:27:00.000-05:00Maybe it's just that I've been out of the country ...Maybe it's just that I've been out of the country for a while, and I don't have a TV, but ads seem so ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Sex Mahoney for Presidentrichgoldstein13https://www.blogger.com/profile/13024589882600654072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529113254773726217.post-65214197754770930292008-12-20T22:36:00.000-05:002008-12-20T22:36:00.000-05:00Isn't it awesome?
