In my temporary housing, I had a tv. I haven't had one since I lived in San Diego, back in 2009.
It's funny when you tell people that you don't have a tv. Sometimes it's a real conversation stopper. I have found that not having one really made it difficult to keep up with pop culture. I never knew what movies were playing and who graced tabloid magazines, but it's not like I didn't watch shows. I went to the library and borrowed DVDs and then I discovered hulu.
Anyway, when I had a tv, I found myself watching it quite a bit and keeping it on in the background when I did other things. The thing that amuses me the most are the commercials. I hardly ever saw any commercials in Boston (a I was sans tv) and the ones that stuck in my head from So Cal are the "Cal Worthington and his dog Spot!" commercials. ("Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal!" Even though I used to think that they said "PuXXy Cow..." ahem...)
So, here I am, living in Santa Barbara, the US capital of breast implants (literally, all 3 companies that make them are here!) and what commercials do I see?
A TON of them about liposuction, Botox, and one that made me chuckle while still surprising me: trojanvibrations.com (since this is a family friendly-ish blog, please feel free to look it up on youtube...). And this was during prime time!
Maybe I'm just REALLY behind the times, but when did cosmetic and plastic surgery commercials become so prevalent? Or is this just a regional thing?
I still don't have access to local tv, so I suppose I'll have to wait until I decide to do it and find out!
