Page 1j HAIL TO THE COMMERCIALS - by Rogep Sanders During . most of the television programs on today, there is a brief interlude called a com- merical. Now that's just fine and dandy if you like to see someone with an up set stomach or a throbbing headache, or if you like to look at a woman lather ing with a substance which is certainly not soap. One of the meritorious qualities of commercials is the fact that they give us just enough time to get a glass of water or to do some things v/hich I will refrain from mentioning here. Many coinmercials are even fun to witness. However, some commercials degrade the actors in them. For instance,there is this one boy who splashes through muddy water just to tell his mother that he had twenty per cent (20%) fewer cavities. Then the announcer tells us that the toothpaste he used to obtain this staggering percentage "... has been shown to be an effective decay preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a con scientiously applied pro gram of oral hygiene and regular professional care.” Many commercials are absolutely ridiculous. Nowadays women can have a ■^iant in their washing machine by using this certain detergent which is power-packed with action. However, about the only time he makes his presence known is to scare the living daylights out of the neighbors. Another thing that women are tick led over ia a "living bra." As for myself. I'd be afraid to wear one, but then again I don't guess it would serve it^ purpose on me anyway. ' VJell, I reckon I have beefed enough about the "one-minute spectaculars," but let me leave this thought with you: if you feel tired,run’down, list less, and don’t know which way to turn, the cause may b€ attributed to. the fact that you have been watch ing too many television commercials just as I have.
