Tom Selleck, Flo, a lizard, a bunch of assholes on a bus singing, and a ton of other annoying idiots trying to sell me shit I don’t need or want!

3. In the 50s a half hour show had ONE commercial.

It was about 3 minutes in length and it came at the 15 minute mark. It was usually live. Kraft Theater showed how to make things like tuna salad.
Commercials were not for taking a bathroom break. They were cool.

In December I had a heart attack, got a stent and three days in the hospital. The hospital bill was some $80,000. I paid $885. Doesn't seem like a scam to me.
