Oh, And By The Way..

Things I am pondering at the moment:

-Isn't the premise of every episode of Law And Order: Special Victims Unit exactly the same? "Ooo! I'm a male cop with a teenage daughter and I hate pervy pervs who prey on teenage girls!" or "Ooo! Aren't people sick and loathsome and disgusting sometimes!" I mean, really. That show seems to be entirely about showing us how evil and twisted the molesters, rapists, and murders in some team of writers' minds can be.

-Am I alone in finding amusement out of the local news in a small market (like, oh say, Portland?) as opposed to a large market (like my hometown of Boston?)? I mean, if the top stories are about pizza delivery guys who have to drive around in the snow storm even though they aren't getting tipped any better than usual ("This just in: People are still doing their jobs, even though it's snowing!") or gas station attendants who are seeing a rise in people driving away without paying for their gas because prices have risen so dramatically this week ("News flash: Some people steal things that are expensive! Stay tuned!"), or the weather report ("If you haven't looked out your window yet today, guess what? It's snowing!"), then you can tell how small your city truly is. I'm pretty much sitting here waiting for the cow report. Ahh, Maine, how I love thee.

-Am I a complete nutcase for sitting my new purse down next to my old purse so they can bond, because I feel bad for my old purse and I don't want the transition from new purse to old purse to be that harsh?
Yeah, I thouhgt so.

-McDonald's new ad campaign for their Filet'O'Fish: Does it make sense that an Aquarium employee is eating a fried fish sandwich for lunch IN FRONT OF THE OTHER FISH?? I'm sorry, but that commercial is just creepy. Almost as creepy as that body wash commercial that pretty much insinuates that a young man is masturbating in his shower. If you don't know which commercial I'm refering to, consider yourself lucky.
