All over the map:
This is what I bought the HDTV converters for. It's been a pleasure to watch the events.
The endlessly repeated and often incredibly stupid commercials annoy me to no end and remind me why we normally don't watch TV. The massive stupidity of the Subway commercial has convinced me to eat at Jimmie John's for a while.
I found the Chevy "gas pumps hate us" commercials amusing the first half-dozen times. Not that an amusing commercial would convince me to buy a Chevy.
McCain's commercial slams Obama. Obama's commercial doesn't mention McCain.
American advertisers are obviously convinced that appeal to thought and logic is not viable and the only valid approaches are appeal to emotion and humor.
It's been fun to watch Phelps rip through gold medals.
Beach volleyball has been entertaining.
I felt sorry for the US woman's gymnastics team last night. It's too bad they got rattled.
It's hard to believe that littlest Chinese female gymnast is sixteen. She looks about ten.
