It’s funny what commercials stick in your head
Mike and I have small habits that we have developed over the years. One of our habits is the nightly watching of Cheaters and Blind Date. I don’t know which one we started watching first but it extended to the other show and we now watch both. I tend to prefer Cheaters but lately there are so many reruns that I’m preferring Blind Date. But I am digressing (no surprise). The point of this post is to talk about commercials. These shows run on a pretty low budget local channel here in Houston. Because it is a low budget station, we see the same slimy commercials each night throughout the shows. It seems that party lines and male enhancers are the commercial of choice but every now and then you’ll get an education commercial thrown in there. The past week I have noticed that our favorite commercial is no longer running. I don’t know if their advertising budget ran out or if they are out of business. The commercial was for a party line/dating service and had the a catchy jingle. I guess even in these hard times people can’t pick up the phone as often as they use to in order to call these “hot” girls. Well a new month is about to start. We’ll see if they are just another victim of the economy or just have a small advertising budget.
