Of Thee I Zing #1

So Laura Ingraham has a thing it seems with anything on television that is not affiliated with Fox News. Is the worst in television really Victoria Secret's commercials, talking baby commercials, and erectile dysfunction commercials? I don't think it's as bad as it appears. Now don't get me wrong, seeing the latest VS model walking a runway for new lacy lingerie doesn't make me feel COMPLETELY beautiful, but everyone looks good on tv. And I don't have money for a personal trainer and chef, so my post-baby body, even a year from birth won't look that good. But some women do look that good. And it doesn't bother me that they're on tv. And I won't let me child watch enough tv to truly get into those types of commercials, soooo what's the big problem here? Sex sells. Always has. Always will.

And come on! The e-trade baby is just funny. It's funny because trying to figure out what your baby is thinking or trying to say is frustrating enough. So to see a baby performing adult business transactions is funny. That's all it's meant to be. Unless your kids (the kids you have without being married, Ms. Roman Catholic) were talking right out the womb. Mine wasn't. So I find this, and probably always will, entertaining. It makes me no less stupid or human.

Dudes also need a little help sometimes. All commercials for ANY drug are awful if you want to go that route. Yes, it may be selling sex, but who doesn't enjoy good sex? But then can't that be said for anything else? By selling rheumatoid arthritis medication, aren't you selling a pain-free existence? An anti-depressant is selling happiness and peace. It's not a big deal. If your kids are up watching it, that's the parents' fault right there. Control what's on the television. But advertising helps sales. Period.

I'll save my rant about more television she hates for #2....
