But I'm not going to go into that here, because I'm sick of explaining. Instead, I will address the idiocy of advertisements today.

Earlier, I saw this commercial for some CD called "Worship Jamz!" or something equally inane. It's some form of new Christian music for children. Now, let's get one thing straight. I have no problem with this in principle. It's fine by me that people are making this stuff. What disturbs me is the commercial. Ya know, there's all those falsely happy small children dancing around to the music, and then this woman comes in smiling in a saccharine way and says something to the effect of "It's music we can ALL enjoy!"

My response can be summed up as follows: OMGWTFBBQ. What PLANET is this woman on? Half the song titles have Jesus in them - somehow I don't think that little Jewish or Muslim or atheist or whatever-other-religion children are going to go ask their mommies and daddies to call the toll-free number. And if they are, they desperately need better music taste... because I was listening to the little samples of each song. Content aside, these songs were terrible. They were sung by those phony high-pitched kid voices and... gaaah. gonk
