Rant #3,390: Pay the Piper

It's finally Friday!

Now that I am back to my active self, the weeks go by quickly, and Friday, of course, always leads into the weekend.

When I worked full time, I always said that I was "working fir the weekend," and even as a remote worker, that goal still holds true.

In today's Rant, I want to talk about something I really don't like, and that is TV commercials.

Look, I know that they exist to pay the bills, but they are generally forgettable and boring, and they proliferate and pollute the airwaves.

But every once in a while, there is a TV commercial thst catches my fancy, usually due to its cleverness in setting out to do what it is supposed to do, which is, of course, to sell a product.

And I think that one currently running does just that in a funny and amusing way.

What I am referring to is that Hyundai Tuscon commercial, which I think is the best, and most tolerable, commercial on TV right now.

I am sure you have seen it.

Two people are involved in what quickly becomes a misbegotten blind date, when the guy knocks his date for her stature, and then talks all about himself--and then he admits he forgot his wallet, so his date will have to pay the bill.

The girl catches on pretty quickly that this isn't going to work, takes out her car key fob while the guy keeps on going, and then excuses herself, jumps into the car, and is done with it.

I know that the ad was created to show just how much the car can do as it prepares itself to be driven, but the commercial is kind of funny.

We have all been in situations like this, and how did we get out of them?

Hyundai provides a solution, and I think the ad is pretty clever in the way it approaches this situation.

So finally, there is a watchable TV commercial on the air right now!

And you can bet that today, tomorrow and on Sunday, whether I am busy or not, I will see this commercial sometime while watching TV.

"Sugar Mama" indeed!

If for some reason you haven't seen the commercial yet, you can view it at https://youtu.be/LtN_umrTBSI?si=lZgatHtMV42vG4xh.

Now once the weekend is over, I have a very busy Monday--

Highlighted, if that is what you want to call it, by a very early morning visit to the dermatologist.

It relates to that cancerous lesion that the doctor removed from my scalp a few weeks back.

I am hoping everything works out well there.

I also have another physical therapy session, and some other things to do, so I won't be at my usual perch on Monday.

Have a great weekend, and I will speak to you again on Tuesday.
