I was watching TV… and i realized the absurdity of commercials...they always begin at a cliffhanger, they show your a bunch of products you probably won't buy and they're not long enough to actually do anything productive until the show starts again...and then I thought…what if people were like TV shows and every 10 to 12 minutes they would have a commercial break. You would be sitting in the lecture hall, and your teacher would say," There are three ways of finding GDP, the first is factor income where we sum the total income of factors of production, the second is the aggregate spending method where we sum up the amount spent by the household and government, and the third will be discussed right after this commercial break. And then the professor proceeds to try to sell you a rotisserie or the miracle blade. With just 4 easy payments of $19.95.
I think that conversations with people would be so much more interesting if this held true...people would be talking about their life and how they failed a test, and how they're so bad ass, and then their commercial would go on and it would be something totally opposite like a barbie commercial, or a commercial about milkquarius. I think the most hilarious example would be if the president gave a speech and as he talks about the dangers if a nuclear armed iran, and he goes straight into a girls gone wild commercial. He would start saying, "tons of college girls getting wild for you!! all for 9.99 call now, and you'll get a second video for free, thats right free. And then he goes back to talking about sanctions on iran.
