Brought to you by....

Last night after the kiddos were finally coaxed down from their sugar highs and wrangled into bed, Dh and I sat down to watch a little television. It was dismal at first; there's just nothing on on Sunday nights, but then we struck programming gold! The first 6 episodes from season 1 Arrested Development! Yahooooo! One of my favorite shows, from the beginning, and of course... Jason Bateman. Hubba hubba.... ;)

The show is on some obscure cable channel called G4. It's obviously not a really popular channel, and you can tell because of the quality of the advertisements. Many of the ads look like they were produced at some local TV station (NTTAWWT!), and all of them contain highly questionable products.

For instance, we saw this one about 5x over the course of a few hours:


Yes, wood extenders. These ads had terrible production value, were about 2 minutes long, and contained these horribly embarrassing "man on the street" style testimonials. Awkward!

** The Jim would like me to mention at this time that no, we aren't going to purchase said product anytime soon as we have NO NEED for them. As a matter of fact, his using them would "probably be dangerous for anyone standing around nearby." **

You have to wonder wth is in those little capsules! Seriously, if they're directing more blood down south, what happens to the rest of the dude? "Yes, my johnson is huge, but is my arm supposed to be tingling like this? And why am I drooling uncontrollably??"

The other ads were equally hilarious and troubling, which leads me to believe that the demographic for G4 is Snuggly-wearing, small-penis having, Rascal-driving, SlapChop-buying potheads (as evidenced by their promos for their planned 4/20 movie event).

Now that's just good TV!
