Musings on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008.

I often watch The West Wing re-runs when I'm working at home and since I'm working I don't use the DVR as quickly as I would if I was actively watching the show.
Most commercials harmlessly play in the background, however I can't help but nearly jump off the couch as soon Billy Mays starts yelling about Oxi Clean or some other home cleaning product.
I don't understand why Billy Mays must yell at me every time he is on TV. Also, why is this an acceptable and popular form of television advertising?
I'm sure he's a nice guy and all. But please stop yelling at me.
