Insensitive commercials make us ruder ?


           Those sub-idiotic TV commercials are getting  more and more

    ugly, offensive , and mean spirited. Have you seen this one: a fairly

    good looking young man is noticed by a fairly attractive young lady.

    But Ugg ! When he smiles, she sees that he could use the services of

    a good dentist.His only hope for those crooked teeth is Delta Dental !

             I guess if you are almost attractive, no dentist would

    just love to prove his skills on you - unless he sees the cash !

    Is there a weirdo dentist out there who just loves his work ? Who

    would just lOVE to improve your smile ?  Are there weirdo doctors

    who would just lOVE to cure you of whatever disease afflicts you ?

    Are there weirdo teachers who would just LOVE to teach you ?

              By the way WHO is teaching the kids  manners nowadays ?

    " Hey you have a fat butt ! " a punk shouts out the window of the

    Cranston St. bus. The driver scolds him. I reflect: The epidemic

    of bad manners is more repulsive than the epidemic of obesity.

               The punk calls another kid at school " fat butt " or

    inspired by the TV commercial " buck teeth " . Buck Teeth or

    Fat Butt was daydreaming of being beautiful. But there is another

    way to get attention, to be a celebrity. The next day he returns to

    school with a gun : " See ME on TV tonight, assholes ! "
