World's Dumbest Commercial
So, I'm in the locker room at the Y today getting changed for my workout, and the TV is on. I look up at it to see a commercial beginning. It shows a man and a woman in bed together and kissing. The man breaks the kiss and says, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." Then, there is the sound of a door opening somewhere else in the house and a woman's voice calls out, "Honey! I'm home!" The image disappears to be replaced with the text - "Alimony? Jackson Hewitt can help. Getting you the tax breaks you deserve." This is awful, people!! To what low state of affairs has America sunk that such a commercial would be run on TV? First of all, a man who commits such a sin doesn't deserve a tax break. He doesn't deserve much, except maybe a one way ticket to the Gulag. Secondly, as the son of a personal C.P.A., don't use a business like Jackson Hewitt or H & R Block to get your taxes done. They don't care about you...obviously, if they're encouraging adultery.
