So I'm watching television last weekend when I notice the same type of commercials coming on certain stations. Not the same commercial, but the same type of commerical. For instance, I was watching Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome on TNT and every other commercial was for some sort of life insurance. Each message was the same: you're old, you're going to die, you better leave some cash to pay for your funeral because you'll probably die from eating pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at suppertime ('cause when you have pizza on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime).

Kind of odd for the sequel to The Road Warrior.

Then over on the Sci-Fi Channel, the advertisers think we're all balding men with genital herpes who don't mind taking drugs with horrible side effects ("Pregnant women must not even look at these pills. Or the bottle.").
