The Scourge of Cable Television

I'm talking about that guy that pops up every two and half minutes to tell you to stop weighing yourself and how you think you're losing fat when all you've lost is meaningless weight. He got on my last nerve months ago. Now my hatred for him and his accursed product has begun to poison my increasingly shallow well of goodwill along with my dwindling reserve of sanity. For God's sake, can't something be done about him?

Wow, I thought when he reffers to the "popular personality" that endorses the product, he was talking about you!

"Stop weighing yourself! You'll just make yourself crazy!"

Ugh...I also hate that ad for coins made with silver found in the rubble of the Twin Towers.

That man is in part why I now have a Tivo.

I think we need to get rid of the guy who "lost another loan to Ditech.com". Seriously. Isn't there any extra room in Gitmo or Abu Ghraib for this jackass?

See, you're fat because of cortisol. Not because you just pounded a 12-pack and a super jumbo biggie bag of Fritos.

The commercial I find most disturbing is the one they have on heavy rotation on Fox. Some guy selling exercise videotapes. The whole commercial is basically about him and his oiled, shaved chest and massive man-boobs.
