Big 5

Lunch is a sacred time. It's that hour during the working day in which one can recharge and relax just enough to make it through the rest of the day. I walk home for lunch nearly every day, grab some food, and watch the local news at noon. I know, I know. It's something! There's usually no one else home around the same time and even if there is, they're trying to wolf down some nourishment too.

Between segments of "important" news come the commercials. What would we be without them? Well, probably less annoyed. Today marked a new record in a contest that, after this November, won't be around for another four years. Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's election season and you can't avoid knowing as such if you watch 10 minutes of TV at a time. The new record set today for my noon-hour TV viewing was a whopping 5(!) political spots in a row. Now that's entertainment!

It's nice to know that there're plenty of people out there with money to blow on telling us how we should or shouldn't vote for one piece of crap over another. I know this sounds harsh but how many adds in a row can one person take? My favorites are the really depressing ones that tell how people are dying from drug overdoses or lack of prescription drugs and how ________________ isn't doing a thing about it. C'mon! Blaming one person who holds some side-office in the state of Washington can't truly be justified. It just paints a funny picture for me: somewhere in the state a politician waits in a dark corner, ready to strike. Suddenly, whoosh! They swoop in and push the dirty needle in further or snatch grandma's heart pills. Ha, HA! Now they've fulfilled their office.

I think us regular folks should ban together and start our own brand of political adds. Heck, if the Friends of Senator Caresalot can get an add during my noon news hour, why can't four guys that live in a college house sponsor one? Wait for it.

PAID FOR BY FOUR WHITE, COLLEGE GUYS THAT JUST WANT TO EAT THEIR LUNCH
