When I work out on a treadmill at the athletic club each morning, there are four TVs going at the same time. The irony is most ads are always so similar. I also watch the news over the lunch hour. I realize that the people most likely to be watching TV at these times of day are the elderly, the retired (not necessarily the same), and the unemployed. These ads are mostly quick fixes for back taxes, reducing debts to creditors and credit card companies, home loans that are too good to pass up, and devices and medications for senior citizens at almost unbelievable prices, and finally reverse home mortgages. They also push buying gold. One of their spokesman is, I think, a convicted Watergate criminal. How can they deliver all these promises and goods? Are they for real or do advertisers have no shame? Do the networks investigate what they put on their channels? It just makes me wonder. I guess I have too much time on my hands.

Yes, it's my truck.
No, I won't help you move.
