Whats going on with people these days? The freaking commercials, adds and TV shows all look the same.
It is like every add the person stands there with arms crossed and trying to look like some bad arse serious facial expression.

Then the commercials make me sick. They all walk towards the camera, doing the bounce, talking with over done hand movements. Every single one looks like they were taught from the same book. Robots who have to do it all the same.

I just went through the People section here. The entire first page with portraits being posted had nobody with a smile. Not one. While the photo's were great, what happened to the smiles every now and then? Is smiling for a portrait taboo now? Yes they have been others but the trend is to not from what I see, everywhere.

Call NOW, it always ends with Call Now. another thing that would make me not ever call.
If someone could come up with something a little different, They would be a genius.

Just take a look at band photoshoots, business shots or just about anything. Do people really like the attitude? I don't. Just makes me want to smack em in the mouth. LOL

I guess I need sleep. rant over.

i'd suggest turning your tv off, most of them i've seen can be turned off.

it's 2012, smiling hasn't been the thing to do in over a decade.

Only "adult" one I watch is South Park. I dispise family guy. Not too much of a fan of American Dad.

Rather watch Penguins of Madagascar, Spongebob, looney tunes, Tom & Jerry, Woody and such.

Have an old collection of TV sitcoms from the late 70's to late 80's. Watched the WKRP "Turkey" episode on thursday.:lol:

On Spongebob he said "See you next Tuesday" but that might not have been done on purpose. The one I was thinking of was "Regular Show" which plays at 3pm (at the time kids watch) the character on it said "p*ssed off"
