Two things that are really ticking me off lately:
- The near-endless stream of the damned “Sea Salt” Campbell’s Soup commercials. If I’m not watching a movie or something funny, my TV defaults to Fox News, and those commercials never. ever. stop. I hate them: the “dum…da-dum…da-dum-da-dum-dum” piano, the irritating chef in his fake chef hat, the baffled lighthouse guy who doesn’t believe that the new “sea salt” soup is lower in sodium, the damn “seeeee-salt…” voice-like sound of the foghorn. I hate it all. I hate those commercials. I will never purchase Campbell’s Soup again.
- Mike Gallagher, the radio talk-show host. Unlike Jerry Doyle, Gallagher is not intelligent enough to be on the radio. Unlike Michael Savage, Gallagher is not funny or entertaining. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Gallagher engages in pure and simple fear-mongering and race/religion-baiting. Mike Gallagher gives all conservative talk-show hosts a bad name.
So what say you? Have you seen those annoying soup commercials? Do you agree that Gallagher is an idiot?

I guess I haven’t seen it enough times to comment, but the O’Rielly/Gallagher lineup on Great Falls radio really annoyed me too. There’s not much humor or entertainment value there, just gnashing of teeth. If I wanted that I could tune in to NPR. Of course, I traded Gallagher up there for Schlesinger down here, and it’s not any kind of improvement. Thank god for satellite radio.
