Who watches TV anyhow? couldn't be bothered.


Exactamundo. These days I watch 2 things: news, and English Premier League. TV, generally speaking, is a waste of time. Korean TV moreso. Shows like 'Sponge' and 'Talk with Beauties' immediately spring to mind. Insipid drivel.

The Rushy and Cashy commercial

the SHOW cellphone commercials.

The group of comedians who run around wearing women's clothes and whigs doing all sorts of really stupid and unfunny things.

HYUNDAI CAPITAL PRIME LOAN commercials

Thr commercial that has those two really feminine looking guys dressed up in pink, singing about some sort of drink to some chick.

Any commercials advertising bottled green tea or black bean drinks.
