Tonight, as we watched game two of the Jazz vs. Rockets playoff series on TNT, my neighbor Jake made an astute observation. TNT does a lot of self promotion during the commercial breaks. For some reason, they choose to promote such shows as The Closer or The House of Payne.Honestly, I remember seeing ads run for The House of Payne during last year’s playoffs, and I was absolutely positive that it wouldn’t last more than 3 or 4 episodes. Surprisingly, the show must have a real following. This means that there are more idiots in our country than I thought (which is a very scary thing to think about).
It just so happened that Jake made his observation after a too-long House of Payne commercial. He announced, “The worst thing about watching the finals on TNT is having to sit through all these stupid commercials. I really don’t want anything to do with rednecks or black people.”
Bravo Jake. Bravo. You said something so inane and unexpected that it made it to my blog. Gold star for you.
On a semi-related note, I think I’d rather watch an Flava’ of Love marathon or get kicked in the junk than watch one episode of House of Payne.
