I pride myself on not allowing commercialism and consumerism to invade my life. I don't follow fashion or fads. I not only march to the beat of a different drum, I AM the different drummer.
But last night I saw a commercial....and it looked good. Then I realized...YES!! There already WAS one commercial that I could not resist. The allure of oral satisfaction that it promised was too much to ignore. It was just last Christmas time that it came on. And yes I went out and bought that product the next time I was at the store.
As an aside, whlie I was driving home today I noticed the car in front of me had not one, but two bumperstickers advertising a company who's most notable product is an animated rodent. They own theme parks, movie studios, and who only knows what else. Not only 2 bumper stickers, but also some kind of antenna thingie too. Im SURE the owner of the car had to purchase those things. Pay....for the right to drive around and advertize for one of the worlds largest corporations.
Thats what Im all about....I'll be damned if I give someone like that free publicity. Which also puts me in a quandry, because now I can't tell you the name of the product who's commercial was so irresistable that I had to purchase their product.
So .....there's soft choclate. Inside a shell of harder chocolate. Thats all it was. Chocolate.
You may now resume your regularly scheduled programming....

Your blog entry here has given me an idea for a future blog entry of my own. Thanks! I'll acknowledge your inspiration when I finish writing it, poor thing that it will be.
I once wrote a story about talking donkeys, now I think maybe I should have made them mules.
