New Year, Same Old

Not much has changed in 2007: I'm still getting paid to watch TV commercials, I'm still working two jobs yet can't afford to step up to 2-ply, and I'm still driving an hour and a half to do open mic for crowds of bitter Philly residents.

Why haven't I joined a suicide cult, you ask? Well, because of a joyful little device called DVR. Though Comcast blows on many levels, they do offer a DVR for a small monthly fee, as opposed to Tivo's prison shower rape prices. I'm stoked because I can record all of my shows I normally miss while I'm at work (like 24), and I can record all of those History Channel programs I love so much. I love them because I was busy drawing comics in high school history class, so I didn't really learn much, and now I'm learning all sorts of shit. Did you know that Lincoln was assassinated? I know, I was shocked too!

Because I watch so many ads, I come across some humorous ones now and again. Check out this one for a new "fishing rod," which is basically a children's harpoon gun. I'm assuming it has some safety features, but I can't imagine giving a 10 year-old boy a gun that launches hooks 30 feet being a good idea. Also check out this one, a commercial for a hunting gear kit. Man, look what Jeffrey Dahmer missed out on!
