As Seen on TV


Death and destruction, the travesty


of war and disaster broadcast live


on TV. And side by side, new car,


Pepsi and Subway commercials,


the good life in the land of the free.



Someone has to pay for all of it


including the likes of you and me.


It doesn't seem so bad what is


happening in places far and away


when mankind calamity is interrupted


by frequent 30, 60-second commercial


breaks.



Go to the bathroom and Enjoy the


Go with Charmin. Order a pizza


from Domino’s, sit back in the


comfort of your Pella-windowed,


Lazy Boy home and take in the game


knowing you’re secure and fully


insured by Progressive.



War in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine,


the famine and impoverishment in


Africa is a whole different world away.



Uncomfortable or bored with what


you see, stream with Netflix, Hulu


or Prime Video commercial free.



Other than the mass murder, military


style gun proliferation and eminent


erosion of democracy, you’ve almost


got it made, America. Break out the


Bud Light, let’s celebrate!
