Don't have television in the house. I keep all my media (movies, music, other video and such) on hard drives and I access it in whatever room I happen to be in. Have not had proper TV for many many years. Just garbage on there.
Hey:
Andy Rooney (he was on television for many years) just died. I was thinking of applying for his job as curmudgeon in residence. But, I think that if you applied for the gig, I'd lose out to you.
Now you,ve did it, I bet the advertisers are now going to use the older cool songs to smooth out all their disclaimers thereby directing all the ambulance chasers in our direction. Maybe,just maybe that nerve grating feeling (finger nails across blackboards) will be soothed somewhat with vintage songs although I hate the idea of associationing some nitwit commercial with some of my favorite classic music.
Forgot to add that I have only one TV in the den. I was going to put other TVs in the house but after thinking that fighting robots would probably crash thru my walls I chose to only have one TV.
Come on Man! There are really smart people behind these adds arn,t there. Sorry if I offended anyone

Man, you guys are right on! In my opinion, most of today's music is crap! By using the "old" tunes, the advertisers are at least assured that people will remember the jingle! Listen to most of today's music and try to even hum it the next day. Impossible. At least tunes from the sixties and seventies stuck in your mind! If I'm getting old, so be it. I can still play good ol' fashioned rock'n'roll and like it!!!

I,am all in with you salty 1322. Money talks when it comes to advertising. But, although some of the commercials grate on my nerves I am glad the music has gone full circle and heading our way.
Now we need to help. Just slip in a few classic rock songs here and there and you will be suprised how people respond. Even better yet gather together and start a Boomer Band. VINTAGE DRUMS PLAYING CLASSIC ROCK, ROCKS!

Only if you listened to everything on A.M. Radio!!!!
A.M. radio- the curmudgeon's medium!!!
Hell....I gave up on AM and FM radio several years ago when I got satellite radio in both of our cars.
OK-OK amatures...you guys are in the minor leagues compared to "da Fungus" in the Curmudgeon category...just ask the guys on GhostNote! They think I'm a Right Wing, Racist, Arian, KKK S.O.B. that makes Rush Linbaugh look like an Obama supporter! Bowing
I love yanking those indoctrinated pansies chain (just an example of my insensitivity), it's so easy I almost feel guilty firing them up & sitting back & watching the fun! Walking I started a thread the other day asking if anyone had seen a bigger piece of Sh!t on Television than "Dancing with the Stars?"...and stated that "G@y America" was taking over the Airwaves & wondered if all it took to sell a show on American TV was an A$$hole with a British Accent (sorry Bunny...no offense) & a Flaming Fag...these guys went ape-sh!t! Started talking about all their g@y friends & how offended they were at my insensitivity towards anyone other than "White Straight Males over 50". Like I said, they are so easy!...the best part is that I'm anything but white! LOL! I come from J@wish, African, German & Irish decent...but was raised Primitive Baptist!...yeah, I've got issues. I keep trying to oppress myself by keeping me down...keep myself liqueured up with Mogan David Wine & have this overwhelming urge to genetically re-engineer my small Dick. Cool1 I also love Girl on Girl Action as long as they're not fat & ugly! Hurting
...so did I miss offending anyone?...do I win, or can anyone beat that?LoLoLoLo

I prefer Mannishewitszc!!!! Oy Vay!!!! I think we are relatives from somehwere...

Come on you guys cannot be a curmudgeon and be everything a curmudgeon is. I mean, I just googled the term and man there are a lot of sayings/actions/meaness & just terrible things for you to earn that rep.
I,am just an old guy that did a lot of things but in all my years I could not earn the title,not even close, but I have some friends that come close so I must Bowing to you'al. Glad to know the titles you'al have earned though. Tom
