The Top Ten Reasons I Really Really Like Advertisements

MOCK TOP TEN REASONS I REALLY REALLY LIKE ADVERTISEMENTS

10. They provide me previous minutes to attend to bodily functions

9. Hearing a long list of side effects imakes me feel instantly
healthier just for not taking the advertised drug

8. I otherwise might have forgotten that Coca Cola is still in the
beverage business

7. When my cable system's Animal Planet is on the fritz, Geico ads
help me pull through

6. Memories of cheerful music and colors make me feel like a pretty
princess whenever I scrub toilets

5. Witnessing an occasional Slim Jims ad makes every other TV
commercial seem like it's a segment on a Bill Moyers show

4. My zen powers of concentration are strengthen by ads (especially
on basic cable channels) that urge me to watch the same episode of a
show that the ads are interrupting

3. Hey, who doesn't need a little more Dianetics in their life?

2. I'm sure Ben Stein needs the work badly

1. The delightful sounds my Tivo makes when fast forwarding through
them
