I watch all of those pet police shows on the Animal Planet and I can't stand people who can't take care of their pets.
Ditto. I don't have cable, very rarely watch TV, mostly because of irritating commercials that are an insult to your intelligence, but I absolutely can't stand people who don't take care of their pets. Remember me making comments nere and there about neighbors' dogs making it hard to get any quiet time to record? That's why.
Neighbor here has a dog. In a pen. Walks out and drops some food in a bowl once a day, never even looks at the dog again. Dog is lonely and neglected, miserable, sits there and barks and yaps for hours on end. I think the owner should be horsewhipped. Hung by his toes. Used for target practice by 23 twelve year olds with slingshots...
Two neighbors like that actually, one of them has been doing it for 2 years, one of the same neighbors had another dog when I first moved here, tied up out back. Ugly little white long haired thing that was actually dingy grey, matted hair and yapped constantly. Only time I ever saw anyone go near the dog was when they dumped some food in a bowl, and I could watch that one from the window in front of this computer. Walls here are thin, no insulation, I can hear you talk if you walk down the street. I can hear the dogs loud enough it wakes me up at 4AM almost daily.
I haven't seen the commercial you mentioned, not familiar with the artist or the song, but commercials in general are in insult to your intelligence. I quit watching TV 30 years ago for two reasons. Commercials, already explained, and the programming itself, which is...well, same as the commercials. Stupid, inane garbage that's an insult to your intelligence. Especially the "comedies" that seem to get more and more stupid all the time.
You can have your TV, gimme a good book any time...
