Things That Annoy You

[Birdie]

What is with this Non-24 commercial?  It seems to be playing during every break now, sometimes back-to-back.  The current ad with the guy is clearly a blasted pharmaceutical ad.  The first one with the lady almost seemed like public service announcement.

I like the unique warning: may cause drowsiness, so limit your activities to preparing for bed.
Sounds like you could be brushing your teeth and suddenly pass out face first into the sink. This stuff is so going to get pulled and then appear on the 1800BadDrug ads. My favorite is still the old Zelnorm ad that warned of diarrhea with fainting. Sign me up!

The Best of George Norry annoys me. Why would anyone want to listen to that schlock instead of hearing Art Somewhere in Time?

[bigchucka]

Running a virus scan and seeing program names of shit you tried, didn't work, and uninstalled years ago.  That annoys me every time it happens.

That and mgid.  Done learned the lesson a long time ago there's no point in trying to read the article, cause it doesn't fucking exist.  At least I don't think they do.  That and the stupid shit they come up with... Men forget to breathe while playing this game... who the hell would want to play a game that may cause you to asphyxiate and pass out?

Here's an interesting comment from a Cleveland Plain Dealer article on the drug this commercial is pushing, "Turner says she is in no rush to try Hetlioz.

“I’m a little afraid of the medication,” she said. “I’ve been reading some of the side effects.”

Among the side effects reported are headache, nightmares or unusual dreams, and drowsiness.

Had the pill been around back in 2006, Turner said she probably would have been one of the first ones to try it out.

“But living with this for so long, it doesn’t behoove me to use the drug at this point,” she said."

It sounds like another situation where the cure can be worse than the malady it's meant to treat.  Or where the financial interest of the pharmaceutical company may trump the potential benefit of the drug.  Vanda certainly seems to have no shortage of funds for radio ads.

In my market, the non-24 ads started the day after Christmas.  One male read the ads for a month, then a different male, then the woman, and now the first male is reading a different ad.  The first three did sound like public service announcements, and when I ran a whois on the website and found it was owned by a pharmaceutical company, I became very angry.  Ads are not supposed to sound like PSAs. It's very unprofessional and very unprofessional for the stations to air them.

This sounds perfect for the George's sucky little show.

I agree.  I found this article about the Vanda outfit.

Sounds like Ty Bolinger might fit this place.

Girl in a Brooklyn bar: "what do you think about fracking?"

Literally nothing relevant/related preceded that. STFU, faux intellectual uber liberal hipster, please, I'm trying to enjoy my booze.

i would have vomited on her hipster glasses.  while she's wearing them.

Sure you didn't hear her wrong and she said "What do you think about fucking?"

or there's this.

Or fracking was her "code word" for such.   You should have "fracked" her bateman, and "vomited" all over her hipster glasses.

My fucked up Rolodex of a brain.  Just had to inform a friend of mine that a old buddy of his died over the weekend.  As soon as I seen the name in the obituary section of the paper it was able to time travel back years to him telling me a story about him.  I think I might have met him once or twice, now that I think back.

My brain sometimes does this weird thing where I'll be having a conversation with someone and it'll trigger a memory of a conversation I had with them in the past.  I'll be able to pick up the previous conversation where it left off (which at least relates to the current conversation), but they sure as fuck won't be able to follow at first...

MV got to witness this ability a couple days ago.  Just realized that means it works for printed word as well.  FUCK.  Maybe I'm a mutant.

She needed a good frack upside the head.

I heard a really annoying podcast on DMRN out of Cleveland.  One of the hosts was a whiner who called himself Johnny Anonymous? He wanted to be anonymous on the Internet? But people found out who he was?  And emailed him nasty things and posted on Facebook?

Johnny did make an important revelation.  The Russians are all like not taking our astronauts to the moon? There's a lot of important stuff that goes between the space station and the moon?

Annoying as hell.

Wasn't that for photo session for one of his book tours?

[pyewacket]

Not sure. I'm not a big fan of his- I don't hate him. I just think he's like all the rest- a phony and an opportunist.

[paladin1991]

When he 'returned' to the broadcast world, he seemed to make a big splash.  But like most ppl in politics or newsmaking, I take a lot of what they say as orchestrated BS.  'What will it gain them in the short  or long run?', is how I look at things. 
Hard news, that's something else.  But the spin 'they' put on things and the sh*t that flies fm it is what has me shaking my head in numb disbelief.   
I'm not a fan of Beck, Jones or Brokaw or anyone on the telly.  Hell if they're writing books, they're doing it for the money.  When Beck and anyone else starts giving them away, then I might start taking them seriously.

I have his show on in the morning sometimes as background noise and I've heard him contradict himself here and there. He and all the rest of the "talking heads" are hawking books. I've heard, somewhere, that the conservative books sales are starting to taper off.

I totally agree with you about the money incentive. If they were as concerned as they say, they would be more interested in getting the word out there and not be looking to make money from it.

[bigchucka]

Nope.  It's the dope.

It wouldn't have been a case where one caused the other to happen.  Happens with or without, and haven't had none around for a couple days now.  Later on today though.... different story.

First time I had that shit pointed out to me was when I was in high school.  Didn't do any smoking, drinking, or whatever until I was an adult.  So that means I was born with a brain that does that...

Bigchucka's Theory Of Everyone...  Everyone's brain works differently.  That's why some people are good at math, others like to paint and draw.  Some like to fish and hunt, others hate the outdoors.  Some people are straight, some are gay, some like both.  This theory actually explains many things...

William Kristol.  He's smug, smarmy, almost always wrong, and he looks like he breast fed until he was eleven.  And those are his good qualities.

Rabid hockey fans.  Loud, obnoxious, hockey fans.  Especially, rabid Blackhawks fans here in Chicagoland.  It's everywhere you go.  And the women are just as bad as the men.

You've got that right.  The local news is worse.  It's become some kind of version of TMZ.  Oh, speaking of smug jackasses.
