On to the blogging:
Daytime TV was on the waiting room’s tube, and it was driving me nuts. I wanted to click it off, but doing so would’ve killed what little entertainment the other patients had.
And what kind of advertisers want to target couch potatoes with no jobs? From the looks of it, more than a few scummy, predatory lenders. Ol’ Toyota of Durham was also there and fit right in.
The fluff bookending the commercials was a show called Starting Over, apparently “reality TV” for women with low self-esteem. It all felt evil, like subliminal messages were screaming “you’re a loser! you’re a loser!” for watching it. Thankfully, I got called away soon after.
How can people watch this stuff?
Shows like Starting Over are stupid. Who wants to hear about a bunch of sad women who struggle back from adversity and overcome life’s obstacles? Geesh.
