This is probably a hint I should take that I watch too much TV, but the commercials that come on the tube that don't sell anything are starting to really get on my nerves. There's the BP ads that tell me how many millions or billions they're investing in such and such new fuel sources and interview adverage Joes and Janes about what they think should be done (yes, I'm sure they're educated on the subject...).

Then there's the BMW etc. commercials that are advertising that they're working on fuel cell powered cars and are asking little kids questions about them. Um, ok. Once you're selling them, get back to me.

Then there's the Truth.com commercials telling me how evil tobacco corporations are and that cigarettes, believe it or not, aren't healthy. I'm pretty sure that's been known since the '60s, and I grew up in school being taught it; but thanks guys, I'm sure there's lots of people that don't know, and will stop smoking once they see your ads.
