They aren't wrong.

Also, LOL Americans and actually knowing when their next election will be.

Actually, yes. From CNN I was half expecting them to say "Get ready: 2017 starts now".

$kaycog > 505Turbeaux

The phone calls were ridiculous. The last few days, I'd just pick up and hang up.

11/05/2014 at 14:17

Gotta feed the beast. I went all day yesterday not looking at the news, since so much of it is a foregone conclusion. I get most of my news, even the US news, from the BBC . They're generally much less hysterical and sensationalistic.

NOOO!!! NOT HILLARY!!!

505Turbeaux > $kaycog

yeah, it was a ridiculous year. We just got pounded in the media bad too. 81st largest media market in the country, 9th in volume on advertising. SO DONE

I agree with this statement

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > 505Turbeaux
11/05/2014 at 14:19

I just want some peace and quiet and to hear normal ads for things I buy.

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!?!?!

For Sweden > CalzoneGolem
11/05/2014 at 14:22

Do you really think a well connected wealthy White person can ascend to the Presidency? Do you REALLY think that?

ly2v8-Brian > 505Turbeaux
11/05/2014 at 14:26

well.. Fuck.

Seeing as there will be both primaries. How close to $1trillion is going to be pissed away?

CalzoneGolem > For Sweden
11/05/2014 at 14:29

Not if she's got tits.<\misogynist>

But seriously though I would have bet large sums that a person that wasn't white wouldn't be president and I would have lost it.

CalzoneGolem > 505Turbeaux
11/05/2014 at 14:30

She's more of an old white man than Obama.

I heard somebody jacking with my door knob at 10:30pm the other night. I jumped up from my seat on the couch and was prepared to go all "crouching tiger hidden baseball bat" on somebody, but when I opened the door I saw some poor dude running down my driveway with a handful of election flyers and one rubber banded to my door. Needless to say, I voted against that guy. No idea what his positions are, but I'm pretty sure his opponent said he was a child molester and accused him of trying to use a gravitational force field to drag a comet into earth's path. Advertisocracy sucks.

Nibbles > 505Turbeaux
11/05/2014 at 14:41

Could you imagine what would happen if a gross majority voted for a fictional character?

(probably absolutely nothing, business as usual, LOL ELECTORAL COLLEGE, bullshit bullshit bullshit)

505Turbeaux > Nibbles
11/05/2014 at 14:43

it would be glorious to see though

DrJohannVegas > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
11/05/2014 at 14:44

Some people buy politicians (or political offices). Those are ads for things they buy. Why are you complanining?

505Turbeaux > DailyTurismo
11/05/2014 at 14:47

haha I would be scared as hell being that schlub. All in all the political advertisocracy as you said wastes so much goddamn money it is almost laughable, until you realize what kind of good stuff you could have done to make yourself feel and be awesome. Take someones entire political campaign war chest, and start helping people with it. You get awesome press, your donors actually WANT to be known, people benefit that need it. God damn that would be a beautiful thing to see. And that is the guy I will vote for

Mercedes Streeter > $kaycog
11/05/2014 at 14:47

For future reference (because I'm IT at a call center (Education, not Politics)): Don't pick up and hang up, they'll just keep on calling. Usually answering by saying "Put Me on Your Do Not Call List" will permanently stop them.

Though bear in mind, there are many companies doing this crap (and many of them use the same "phone name"), so you'll likely continue to get calls anyway. :(

It's like fucking Christmas promotions the day after Halloween. 'Merica.

$kaycog > Mercedes Streeter
11/05/2014 at 14:50

Thanks for the advice. Usually, it's a recording anyway, so I found it easier to do it the way I did this year. Thankfully, it's only a twice a year thing.

God Almighty...They can't turn a profit unless they have 24/7 wall-to-wall coverage of SOMETHING.

I guess they got their mileage out of the Malaysian airliner, so now it's politicians.

chuck07 > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
11/05/2014 at 14:54

I can see it now:

TV cuts to a Corvette upside down in a ditch, now a Saturn in a light pole, now a Corolla split in half.

In a slow, deep voice: "Don't let this happen to your family. GM has increased your taxes and killed your loved ones. It is time for change."

In a fast voice at the end "This commercial was not endorsed by or associated with Ford Motor Company. Paid for by Ford Motor Holdings Inc.'

chuck07 > $kaycog
11/05/2014 at 14:55

I wish I could put one on hold while waiting for a call from another. Then patch them together and see what happens.

Whahaha! I like the way you think!

We pulled this one in highschool, voting for the president of student body. Faced with 3 choices, 2 popularity queens and a wannabe jock, a bunch of us was like 'screw this' and voted for 'Josip Broz Tito'. It wasn't all shits and giggles, we actually did want a more, er, socialist student body, 'cause fuck me if those braindeads are calling the shots in my name. So many ballots were invalid that they came after us and we had to deal with the principal. 10 years later and I still don't know who ratted us out. High school politics. SRS BZNS.

Kinja'd!!!

I wuld be bothered by this but I watch zero TV, unless it is recorded and edited to not have commercials.

11/05/2014 at 15:03

Right? They have to lift some kind of banner for liberal hopes right now. Instead of getting their reps to work together with the other side to resolve problems already existing.

Their job is to piss people off instead of bring people together, didn't ya know?

Yes but those are ads for things they have already bought and are selling.

For a second I thought you may have done something
unusual and made the
column on the left spell something.
Killer actor Arnold Schwarznegger did that when he was governator.

You wouldn't think it would be that difficult, but it is. I've had to make some
odd word and spacing choices to make this happen. Any way, keep the greasy bits on the
underside of your car.

EDIT: DAMMIT I FUCKED IT UP!!!! LET ME FIX IT.

Edit the edit: I fixed it.
