Just Watching TV

Do you really wish to see how fundamentally odd cable digital high-def PVR TV has become?
If the answer is "yes"-
-And I'm not sure whether or not it should be
Leave your TV on mute.
For an entire day.
Glance up from your Sudokus to observe it occasionally.
It's the best way to glimpse how retarded commercials have become.
Who are commercials designed for, really?
Adults?
Which adults?
Anyone who wants to buy their toilet paper from a cartoon bear-
Or a suspiciously telepathic Golden Retriever puppy-
Should be labeled as 'adult' with a degree of caution.
Maybe kids would read more if our gum commercials didn't involve middle-aged men bursting into office buildings on ostriches.
Though I doubt it.

I'm likely writing this way because I'm currently reading Klosterman's Sex, Drugs, Cocoa Puffs.
And though he has already proven through his first chapter that his ability to social analyze is way beyond mine...
...You can't help but think, "I can do this, too" when you read it.
