Commercial

When you’re old you have the obligation to complain about things that others can’t complain about. For instance, you can complain about soft ice cream, automated telephone operators and confusing menus at fast-food restaurants. Television commercials are also prime targets. Old people like to complain that they are too loud, on too often and have nothing to do with the product.

While their complainants are usually well founded, they are such obvious observations that young people need not waste their time complaining. All young people know television commercials are too loud, air too often and seldom reflect the product. They don’t complain because they also know the nature of television commercials is to be too loud, to air too much and to have little to do with the product.

Since I’m Old I can complain about television commercials. The one in particular I want to complain about are RV commercials. Not one commercial in particular but all of them. They are loud, boring, and obnoxious and they make me violent. They usually have an irritating announce yelling about low prices and balloons for the grandkids. They do everything but entice me to purchase a Winnebago.
