I dunno what is up with the advertising on this TV channel, but it is absolutely freaking hilarious. One of my all time favourites has to be the ad for 'Sonic Ears', or perhaps it's the home alarm system where the old victim calmy pronounces 'Im having a heart attack'. But man, I think I have a new winner. Caught this last night, what a classic! I just bought 4 and I don't even have a pet:

I've met an old couple that made a 6 foot ramp covered with a nice rug in a small bedroom so their precious little babies could climb up to the bed. My gf had to babysit them once, but was an hour late getting there in the morning to feed them. The owners called from their trip and yelled at her for a while, after screaming at me. On top of that, the little shits bit her.

I'm planning on marketing a product called the "HipBreaker".

The thing to keep in mind is we're not designed to have such a long life expectancy. In old times you were lucky to reach 40. We keep discovering methods to help us live longer, but it's only allowing use to die slowly. Once you reach a certain age in life, you have to ask, "now what?" Watch TV.
