So there I was doing my Mental Health Days Off from Drumphf News (in particular) watching Tubi TV when suddenly...

(free streaming) I was Visually "assaulted" by a Paramount commercial for drumph's WWE June 14 event.

BLARGH!!

So 🚨Be Warned 🚨the commercials are heading your way!

But 4 my MH I realized by the end of April 25 after 3 months or so of drumph's WH return; I needed to take days off. I'm here a few times a day the other 5.
If something (hopefully not) extraordinarily bad, or (hopefully yes) *extroidinary wonderful* happened on my days-off I'd probably be here as well.

God I wish commercials could be skipped.

They also play that Ro ad with the stupid idiots and blaring trumpet music. That's one of the worst on TV

"I'm not bald" "I'm not overweight" "I'm not living with HIV" "I'm not diabetic" etc when those ads play. I was hoping that since google and every other corp spies on our email, posts, and listens to our phones, just maybe that would get them to play different ads other than the drug ads.

I do find a few of the Liberty Biberty commercials to be a little bit funny. I really liked the Duluth Trading Co ads, and love the Subaru dog ads.

It is one of the worst parts of him. He insinuates himself into all aspects of culture. He is a memetic cancer.

He's somewhere, waiting to emerge and ruin my day.

Although the hairspray Trump uses would probably do a good job of keeping the cockroach from flying at ya.
