Who invented the TV ratings system? PG, TV14, and all that?
Did they also invent dust mites?

Every Sunday I have to dust the TV set.

Are the dust mites trying to protect me from FOX's crude Sunday line-up by adhering to the glass and depositing a big load of, uh, dust onto the glass?

And why is it that every dust cleaner product has to smell like some sort of fruit? "Pladge Dust Spray! Now in soothing artifical natural Citrus Orange scent!!" What do they expect we consumers to do, sniff it constantly until we get high??

Which reminds me, they do the same thing for ammonia for no good reason. Now ammonia on its own is pretty toxic. Rightfully so. But to shroud that scent of acidic, freshly baked roadkill with that of a lemon seems pretty stupid to me. Why not re-label Elmo's Glue as "Spring Mountain Mist" and give the 7th graders a real treat? :eyes:

:shrug:



* Note: Product names changed so they don't reflect any real companies names or products. I am not saying those real companies are doing anything bad. But those fake companies aren't doing much good either. What all that means, I don't know.

1. Me. But not dust mites.
They precede me by centuries.
Dried skin effluent.
