Oximoron

Hey! It's Monday! Nothing spectacular happened besides the fact that we had a guest speaker (who I suspect MIGHT be the ShamWow guy...) who took up a solid 1 and 1 half hours today at school. Those white people are crazy!

I don't watch very much TV. If you've ever been to my house, you know that I have like, 4 channels in my room. That suits me just fine. I've never been really entertained by anything on TV besides hockey games and when Spike broadcasts the Star Wars movies. To me, the commercials are the biggest turn off. I understand that the stations need to make money, but sometimes, I wonder why in the world they chose a certain spokesperson to promote their product. I'm talking about this guy:

Billy Mays. You've most likely seen him on those OxiClean commericals. I gotta admit, OxiClean looks like a pretty sweet deal, but Mr. May's voice is just too much. I don't just mute the TV, I bury my head in pillows and whatever else to drown out the sound of his abrasive, wacky voice. The guy looks nice, sure. Maybe like a cool uncle or something. Heck, he's even got a kickin' beard and 'stache, but seriously. It wouldn't be so bad if he was ONLY on OxiClean commercials. I mean, I only watch maybe an hour of TV a day, so that's, what, maybe 15 commercials a day? Fortunately for Billy's wallet and unfortunately for Jordan's ears, he's branched out. Now he can be seen promoting every stinking contraption for any job. From Bedazzler to Buddy Putty, this guy has pitched more product than (insert some sort of baseball joke). I guess that means he's good at what he does, but the VOICE. I'm sorry, it's a pretty dumb subject to rant about, but nothing else is going on in my life right now, so...why not? Anyway. In summary, Billy Mays' voice is annoying and commercial companies should put more thought into whose voice is going to be forever associated with their product.

Norah Jones has a nice voice. She should be a spokesperson. I mean, a spokesperson for something besides being mellow and demure.

EDIT: Okay, this is sort of an addendum to this post, but I just saw a commercial with the Charmin bears on it. Y'know, these guys:

I was just thinking how unnecessary (and disturbing) it is to see a bunch of toilet paper on some cartoon bear's bum. Plus, I'm not ever sure of what it's advertising. How would you know if you leave little tiny pieces behind? I don't really scope out my butt after I've done the deed and say, "Good job, Jordo.". Maybe I do have some pieces back there. Makes me want to take a shower.
Sorry for the unsavory subject. It was just bugging me.

Bye!
