Oh man, not only did my team lose this weekend (earlier than I had them slated to), but now there's actual real-life facepalm-inducing commercial. From about two seconds in, I was like "Is that.. Coach K? No way!" And it only got worse. I could hear Ma in the other room, laughing away, as one-by-one- actual coaching legends slid onto the screen. Luckily, if nothing else, I can take solace in the fact that Roy is in this too, so at least I can't take anything from those fans about it. But still, the second-hand embarrassment... it burns.
( Watch as one commercial combines at least five things I cannot stand... )And now I have to go and rush a roast in the over before Kings starts. It's new and I like it, but I am sure it's gonna be canceled any day now. This means I am torn between enjoying it while it lasts and trying to decide if its worth getting invested in something that will surely be pulled for some sort of reality TV program of either the "famous people competing at some mundane every day event" or "everyday people doing extraordinary things" variety. I mean, it's a TV show that actually got me to break out a book kind of like a Bible (Technically it was a Bible "summary" or something. Though, to be fair, I first went for my "My First Book of Bible Stories". Who woulda' thought that a book I was given as a gift when I was four would come in handy for TV watching almost 3 decades later? I bet the people who gave it to me didn't!) That's a feat in and of itself. Plus, it looks really good (more like a movie than a TV show) and, only three episodes in, has characters I both really, really like and wish were dead. Good work soon-to-be-canceled show! And now, roast time!
