after midnight

3 years ago

I am up a lot between midnight and 5 am.
This time period, especially on weekends is usually devoid of any good TV programs, cable or broadcast TV. ( Except for the "movie channel's")
Almost every channel has those stinking infomercials.
And when I had cable, the endless repeating of the same basic garbage that was in the theaters in the last 6 to 9 months is filling my screen with that garbage.
Why would I want to watch "cloudy, with a chance of meatballs?" I do have some sense of good taste.
Why did the different sources for our TV viewing pleasure come to the stupid conclusion that we would "like" infomercials???? over 150 channel's of infomercials.
Why I cold loose weight, gain money from the stock market/buying and selling of houses,I could be "feminine fresh." BUT as a guy, that is not the odor I want.
They have stuff to make a guy's, uh, "third leg" bigger. What if I want mine shorter?
Almost all of my girlfriends, once they see my "trouser snake" is above the size of 90% of other men, rush to find some measuring tape or ruler.
One guy in boot camp took a Polaroid of me, in the shower, and claimed he sent the pic to his granny.

Opps, I got off topic.
WHy wold I want to watch bowflex, then saucer buns, then strap mania.
WHy wold I want sweating to the oldies 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20- 20,384,529.
Personally I would like to back hand Richard Simmons in his face; then use his head as a q-tip.
I was NOT sorry when that Billy Mays person died. I HATE being yelled at in a commercial.
IF I am being yelled at, then their "merchandise" is probably cheap, and will not work.
That sham wow thing, this couple brought in, during a meeting; to try to get a soda spill out of a carpet. I admit that it was a cup over 200 ounces.

I have thought this for years.....that they are struggling to find something to entertain us with....they seriously need new ideas and writers.....I find I don't watch much tv anymore....too much of the same crap all the time....I am with you totally on this one!

A few new shows have a new "concept." and I have heard of a few on cable that are not a copy of another older show.

Hey General! I am lmao! I am so with you on this!
I am also up kind of late too and you are so right!
I was watching some program Saturday night and I
must have accidently touched the remote control and
by the time I realized what happened I had been watching
some stupid azz infomercial about some stupid crap and
I kept waiting for the program to go back on! I finally
realized that ooops I somehow the channel must have gotten
changed! I was so pissed because I missed whatever it was
that I was originally watching! I hate those damn infomercials!
And I agree with you on all that you said! I am not interested
in any of that stuff they are selling! I don't want to be
screamed at or talked at for a half hour either because I'm
still not going to buy whatever it is and I can't believe how
many channels are taken up with this sh1t! What am I paying
my damn high cable for if I can't find anything worth watching!
My boyfriend and I end up renting DVD's for the weekend or we
wouldn't have anything to watch! It's pathetic!

I am buying dvd's. It has replaced my need for cable at night. Even though, it is a TV show that I am watching at this time, there is the BONUS of NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I was with one other guy in my life before I got married, and shorter would have been a lot better. I know a lady who once bragged to me about a guy's big one, and I told her that bigger is not always better. I think she was just surprised that I wasn't shocked by her ramblings, but instead of being shocked I called her bluff and held up my end of the discussion quite well. My husband (fiance at the time) was there, and knew all about the former guy, so I felt no qualms about saying what i aid. I think she was surprised I said it infront of him, but hell, he knew it all. LOL

I agree about Billy Mays. He yelled himself to death, and I breathed a sigh of relief. LOL

When I lived in the USA, I coudln't stand American TV for the infomercials. I longed for a computer in the bedroom, so that we could listen to the BBC World Service. They stream locally on a radio station here in Guelph, and I got them on the internet in AZ, but falling asleep with MSNBC and CNN instead of my BBC World Service drove me nuts!!!

True, just by being larger is no help unless one knows how to use what the gods have given him. Once it came out that billy mays had cocaine in his system, I have not seen any ad's that he had done since that announcement.
