I don't care about the new sitcom that has a bunch of people carpooling.

I don't care for the highlights for the news.

I don't care about the price of their doughnuts.

At least they didn't hype up the cost of their condoms...

1. Ah the future and advertising... Seen "Idiocracy" yet?
I'd carry around paper or garbage bags, to put over those things...

2. I hate those things.
I never pay attention to them when I get gas anyways since I'm usually squeeging my windshield or picking out the next album I'm going to listen to. They say that it's bringing you news and information at the pump. WRONG! It's bringing you advertising at the pump.

You end up humming that shit for the next 10 miles after leaving the station.

announcer actually starts talking to people pumping the gas! :P

8. Those things are too noisy. The worst was Bill O'Reilly on the screen...
while I pumped gas at Wal-Mart. I never went back there for gas.

9. !
:rofl:

Walmart sells gas?

I know Sams Club does (but depending on the day they cost more than regular gas stations across the street; otherwise it's usually a 2 or 3 cent difference... sometimes 5 cents...)
