What Tv Has Taught Us


Being close to the end of the year and all, I thought I'd make a list saying what TV has taught us in the past year(or years):

 

-99% of Americans are, in fact, not as smart as a 5th grader

-90% of 5th graders aren't as smart as a 5th grader either

-Dish Network, Comcast, and DirecTV all have more HD channels than each other at the same time

-It's perfectly normal to dress up like Vikings and take goats on skiing trips

-HeadOn is, in fact, mant to be applied to the forehead

-The most pressing issue in America is saving money on a pickup truck

-Saving money on your car insurance is second

-Ford is a popular truck company

-GM is really sorry for screwing up

-So is BP

-So is Toyota

-Singing rock songs about how much you love your bank is probably not gonna make you a popular artist

-Don't run out of Dorito chips when crossing a street, or you will be pancaked by a bus

-Plastic surgery is perfectly normal

-Geckos can actually hold much more in their invisible pockets then you would think

-There are at least 5 dozen different animals/company icons responsible for saving Christmas

-Singing the catchy tune of your car insurance company can provide you with a hot tub

-Bud Light can't make you fly

-Eating a Snickers will save you from heatstroke if you're AC fails in the summer

-Pressing a tiny red button with "Staples" written on it will automatically provide you with anything your heart desires

-The NFL has an "official" company of everything

-And, finally, the Mac vs. PC commercials are never to return. CRYING FACE. Curse you iPad.

I don't trust the authenticity of that gameshow. If the kids they have up there don't know the answer either, it shouldn't count. I mean some of the stuff they ask is stuff I definitely never learned in grade five nor would ever need to know ever.

Hence this:

-90% of 5th graders aren't as smart as a 5th grader either

But yeah, the gameshow is ridiculous. They asked some guy what the area between the stratosphere and the thermosphere was. I've never learned that.

How can you say that? They were hilarious. Next to the Capital One Viking ones, they were the last of the funny commercial series.

Because they were horrid marketing. They were not only very, VERY inaccurate in their portrayals of the Windows OSes, but their very name is a contradiction.

 

A Macintosh is a Personal Computer, Dummkopfe!

Inaccurate how so? I believe they were very accurate. Of course, they conveniently left off the problems that Macs had, but that's just regular advertising.

 

And of course Mac is a PC. But everyone refers to Windows now as PCs. Apparently.
