This is the best site I've seen in a long time. I got the link, by the by, from a story in today's Salt Lake Tribune (not that I am anywhere near Salt Lake City).

I don't even watch television. I don't even own a television. I just get my thrills vicariously from my sister, a television fiend, and now, you. (I don't think TV is bad or anything; I just don't watch it.)

But awful commercials are everywhere. I listen to a news station (WTOP in Washington, DC) daily. I will never, never, never, never donate a car to Melwood, whoever they are. I am sick to death of their commercials where they read a heartwarming letter about some mentally ill relative, ending with "Thank you, Melwood." Then in the next segment, the announcer ALWAYS says "Letters like these mean the world to us." And then something to the effect of "But we really want you to donate money or tangible goods." So keep your crummy sentiments. Just send money.

They run those ads at least 20 times a day. I've started turning off the radio when these ads come on. And I donated my car to the Kidney Foundation.

Anyway, thanks for the yucks. I will be back.
