    I just remembered another one:

    commercials w/people who shout about their product.

    Y'know, as irritating as he could be, I still liked him. Actually, the commercial that comes to mind is local. It's a furniture warehouse that begins w/a semi truck horn blowing twice, which gives me time to run for the remote. LOL This guy screams at the top of his lungs and, if I let it, it puts me in an instant bad mood. Thank goodness for the mute button.

    That brings to mind the worst commercial of all time - IMO anyway.

    I can't think of the name of it, but it's that crazy guy running around like an idiot in Washington DC, with his book, and screaming of all the free money and programs, etc, that are available from the government, just for the asking. Buy the book and it will show you how to get a piece of the action.

    That spazzmo needs some downers. I could barf every time I see him.

    Maybe he got money to buy a new wardrobe. The last I saw him he had on a light colored jacket with $$$$ signs all over it.

    Yes I know that car commercials, big, fat guy shouting on Sat mornings. Fred Martin superstore isn't it? I truly want to slug that moran. I could do without his 350 lbs yelling on the TV.

    There was a furniture store in Milwaukee (Kohler's? It was 20 years ago) with a guy that would scream all the time. I hate that.

    Over-the-top media drama for every little thing. Not everything is a crisis of epic proportions.

    Stoopid Wall St. fatcats that are totally tone-deaf and won't lend money to small business but have no compunctions about bonuses so high they need to be expressed in scientific notation.

    Reality shows. *barf* Enuff, already.

    How about pets dying. I lost my dog, 11 bettas, 2 gerbils, 4 hamsters and 5 rats this year. I could have done without that.

    I'd love to see a permanent end to:

    Inconsiderate cell phone users. I do not want to know their business and they talk too loud.
    Technology "advancements"
    Bratty kids
    Homelessness
    Servicemen and women fighting in the middle east


    And most of all.....
    SUMMER!!!!!!!!
    FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE

    Dr Oz. and any Dr. on TV.

    As much as I am an advocate for Health Care reform and stuff like that?

    I can really do without the commercials telling me that there is a "hidden killer" lurking in my kitchen drain, on my toilet seat or the soil that I rake when I am doing yard work.

    I'll probably die in a car accident with a transgendered Maylasian weightlifter that I bummed a ride from while I was at work-not some scary fungus that kills 3.1 people per million and lives in my sink.

    I don't have time to be scared about stuff like that-I am more concerned about the U.S. medal count at the next Olympics!

    LOOK! Richard died in a car accident and who was he with?
