Buy Our Sh-, I Mean, Stuff

When I was a kid, every time a commercial would come on the TV, Dad would command me to turn it down. When the commercials were over I would turn it back up again or be yelled at for failing to do so quick enough, I was born BRC (before remote control).
Maybe that's why I hate advertising so much. I got rid of cable TV because I didn't want to pay for paid advertising. The idea of paying for basic cable TV that other people are paying to advertise on just seems like the networks are being too greedy.
I used to fill up a recycling bin every week just from the junk mail we used to get. Now all of that junk mail is in my inbox, electronically. At least that shits easier to ignore even though I get some entertaining crap, scams and what not in my electronic mailboxes.
*See screenshots below*
For reasons beyond my control, I have more than one email address. Don't ask, I will devolve into a vulgarity laden tirade about cell phone store employees...
Modern technology has allowed the mind numbing, blaring loud assault on my intelligence to proliferate at every fucking kiosk... I remember when I could hear myself think at the gas pump. It's irritating enough to be bombarded by the sounds other humans make via car radios, dogs yapping, kids screaming...
Now there are infotainment systems integrated into every single fuel dispenser, blasting away at high volume about all the sugary, salty, fatty delights waiting to give you diabetes, high blood pressure and clogged arteries inside, all at a great price. Buy six and get one free but you have to go inside where there is one, unisex bathroom with no usable toilet paper.
They can't encourage cigarettes anymore but by god come see all the nicotine filled vapes that taste like Pena Colada and every other sissy ass, foo foo flavor to hook the young folks but in Florida we'll still bust them for weed.
"Don't forget to visit our ice cold beer cave", says the deep male voice with plenty of echo...just make sure it is not within arms reach when you put it in your car. If you are stopped by the police, you might be charged with intent to drive drunk.
Crappy songs from artists you've never heard of play at high volume with that tired, machine gun fast, hi-hat cymbal in ALL modern pop music, streaming on all your favorite dry streams- with a video of a bunch of oddly dressed dancers slathering around in some sort of sex sells, trance dance... I"m not even sure what they are selling, KitKats?
I won't even stop at the old Hess station in front of the old TIB bank anymore... Maybe if they were giving the gas away.
The ATM advertises for shows that B of A sponsors now. Won't be long until they add audio to that as well, blasting unintelligibly over the 2" plastic speaker.
Used to be my parent's generation, "elevator style" music playing at a low volume at the grocery store. Then it evolved to playing instrumental versions of popular music like the Beatles. They would play a few ads announcing specials in the store.
Now, with improved sound systems using ceiling speaker sub woofers, the stores advertise shit that they don't even carry. They play the same high energy advertising music as the gas station.
The grocery store is so crowded with advertising displays that the customers can't even pass by one another...just like closing one lane during rush hour traffic. It's especially bad around the beer & wine and kids cereal isles.
The "fake" bills, fake delivery notices, fake PayPal receipts...Facebook has "police impersonators" threatening to shut my page down if I don't "sign in" on their fake page...That's another expletive filled rant you'll have to ask me about in person.


I just had to share some of the bullshit.
Some where a moron or most likely a collective of ignoramuses, thought this a viable idea to make a living on planet Earth...
There were never any restrictions on my page by the way...They are preying on the rager personality that gets pissed off first and reacts without thinking...


I haven't purchased anything from Amazon in over a year. Fuck them. I get the same price and free shipping from everywhere else without paying $150 a year for the free shipping, unless you want it to arrive faster...then you have the option to pay extra and have the item actually arrive a day later than usual. If you complain, the caring representative points out there is no "guarantee" it will arrive on time... Yet another meltdown waiting to be verbalized in an impolite manner in person. Have you ever heard of Apple Transportation Services?😅😂🤣🥲
Peace and Love! My web host, Wix, has been glitchy to work with, hope this turns out ok....
