The Internet is Scary

Seriously watch out people, this chick might be lurking around the corner the next time you're leaving the Cum 'n Go (I swear to god there are gas stations named that in Iowa). Anyway, I found her on a creepy ad for home loans or something. The housing market is incredibly scary as it is. We don't need to add to that fright by putting creepy robot Jane Doe on the ad! Yikes. She even would move around and close and open her eyes when you rolled your mouse on her. I swear I'm going to see her in my next nightmare!

I know this has NOTHING to do with television, but maybe it does. Ads like that are like the equivalent of infomercials starring "Bob" and "Nancy" (not their real names). "Bob" excitedly eats strange "food items" that "Nancy" makes with a weird sandwich press thing that you will never you use, you don't need and yet you still find yourself wanting because "Bob" seems so excited about it and "Nancy" makes such strangely odd combinations of food. One of her "recipes" is a sick looking brownie/candy bar cake thing that looks so gross, yet I would still totally eat it if "Nancy" came to my house and gave me one. How could you not want that?

I know. That was a pathetic try to turn this blog entry into something that is actually related to television. I must admit I'm not that into TV right now. Don't get me wrong I'm watching it (hello, do you KNOW me. I live TV!) but I'm not really feeling it. I suppose it's because TV is still going through these strange growing pains after the writers strike. The only programs on are reality and sitcoms. I'm not a big watcher of either of those, so I'm still holding out for shows like "Ugly Betty" and "The Office" to come back on.

So I promise next time I won't scare you with creepy internet ad lady, or my fascination with infomercial sandwich presses.

Verdict: Can't wait until the end of April when TV will be good again!
