I Feel Ya Dawg
At some point I'll start putting my World Cup Diary to paper. An eventful month for sure involving crack whores, fuckwit preachers and a sudden panic when the drug dogs were sent to my luggage carousel.
Today isn't that day but a peeve from the trip came during my stay in Houston. Houston is such a silly place. I don't understand how anyone lives there. Go outside and you melt immediately and to get anywhere you need to spend a fortune on Ubers. Had a great time don't get me wrong, two world cup games, partying with the Mexicans, steak at Yard House and visiting NASA, loved it all.
However when I wasn't doing that I was in the, admittedly spectacular, apartment easing down the night with a beer or two and some TV. There was this one advert that nearly drove me to murder and it wasn't only on once, there was a night when it must have played seven bastard times in a row.
Here it is for your delectation:
Even watching it back to write this I feel the rage building. I remember thinking how easy it must be to get a gun seeing as I was in Texas. How satisfying it would be to petrol bomb their offices and watch it all burn.
A friend of mine knew how to sort me out though. He showed me what real problems were, reminding me that wearing a Kilt in Houston and sitting in the sun could and did lead to him having one sunburnt testicle. I had zero sunburnt testicles and suddenly all was right with the world.
Mercifully the next break consisted of ads for Crohn's disease medication (warning taking this may cause Crohn's disease), AIDS medication (warning taking this may cause AIDS) and something about transvaginal mesh. I'd never heard of it before and I don't know what it is. Not sure I want to either.
PS A shout out to @guyfawkes8384 who's commented this on more than one video.
Direct Energy allows comments on all of their videos except the "The Perfect Pair" video. I wonder why that is...
As far as their ads go this is fairly non-offensive, at least to me. Presumably Mr Fawkes is lamenting his inability to make a racist comment on this one, and for that may his transvaginal mesh give him AIDS and Crohn's disease.
@darreneubanks3279 is far more reasonable on one of their vids:
Dawg I can’t even explain how much I hate this commercial
I feel ya dawg.
