Time for a commercial 'brake' on the NFL

I've decided I love the Mucinex decongestant commercials they've been running on the football games on TV the best. I love them because the star of the commercials is a talking lunger, a loogie.

My wife gets mad when I pick my nose and says it is filthy to do so ... ( My argument is that the finger and nose fit like the penis and the vagina and if God had meant for us not to pick our nose, he would either have made much smaller nostrils or much larger fingers. I mist admit this argument falls on deaf ears.)..... but my wife always laughed at the cartoon Mucinex character on TV until I informed her that it was your basic boogie doing the talking.

For some reason, ad agencies think people who watch football games are rough and tough like the players and we love to own trucks. Odd , I never ever see a freaking La-Z-Boy recliner advertised. Yep, beer and truck advertising...a really good mix unless you're in the tiny car right in front of the truck after the game.

If I see the "Rock em Sock em" Robots commercial one more time for ,I think, Toyota trucks, I swear never to buy a Toyota truck as long as I live. Fox seems to be running it at least three times per break and , while cute the first time, it's just boring these days. The original Japanese script called for "Lock em, Sock em Lobots" but they cancerred that idea.

Chevy is running the hell out of their commercials with John Mellenkamp's "This is our country" music. Maybe they're trying to sell the fact you're more American if you buy one, but I have a feeling most of the truck buyers they're targeting don't know the lyrics as they're concentrating too much attention to the images, not the words.

The former Cougar wrote a good song. Here's some of the lyrics and , might I add, "Fuck the Truck"

I can stand beside

Things I think are right

And I can stand beside

The idea of stand and fight

And I do believe

There’s a dream for everyone

This is our country......

There's room enough here

For science to live

And there's room enough here

For religion to forgive

And try to understand

The other people of this world

This is our country

From the east coast

To the west coast

Down the Dixie HighwayBack home

This is our country

That poverty could be

Just another ugly thing

And bigotry could be

Seen only as obscene

And the ones that run this land

Will help the poor and common man

This is our country

From the east coast

To the west coast

Down the Dixie HighwayBack home

This is our country

The dream will never leave

And some day it will come true

And it’s up to me and you

To do the best that we can do

And let the voice of freedom

Sing out through this land

This is our country
