    We watch a couple of hours of Netflix in the evening. But we're so far out that without an antennae we can't receive anything local. I've had a 40 ft. antennae laying on the ground for a year but with all the other remodel haven't had a chance to put it up...and not sure I want too.

    Everytime I am somewhere where there is a TV it confirms my "no, hell no". What a crap programs and what a bunch of commercials that inflate the length of a film twice or more. For Information I hear radio while commuting or read the online papers.

      We don't listen to radio either, but once in a blue moon. So if a war started we wouldn't even know it.

        Not sure if this is kid-sister approved, but it needs to be said amongst adults. Let's pretend that's us... At first I was like, what... dude butt wipes sound cool. But yeah, watched the commercial and it was stupid. If anyone actually studies real history anymore rather than just play video games and argue, they'd know that at the turn of a decline of a civilization always results in stuff like this with low hanging fruit. Not that I'm anti-freaky time at all because chicks be awesome, but the stupidity of crap like this is just low hanging fruit inspired by a lack of creativity and demoralization. And some may say morals are subjective, and that's true. So in this context, I'll say demoralization against what the majority believes. And sometimes this needs to happen, but IMO not with low hanging, cheap fruit that's inspired by immaturity and no imagination. It's in the same league as a children's comedy always targeting a dude getting smacked in his special space to illicit a laugh in a "comedy". When you have no originality or story, resort to that, play a laugh track, and immature kids will laugh. The real problem is, when full-grown adults haven't matured past that of a child. Like we're doing now in society. There's a difference between being a kid at heart and not maturing past the mentality of a child. This is when a society collapses because there's nothing left of substance to actually run it. Anyone who thinks I'm crazy needs to pick up a book for once rather than argue online. Edit: Just so nobody gets the wrong picture. I also harbor disdain for the uptight folks who get angry all the time over stuff I can't mention, because deep down they're jealous and/or insecure. Yeah, I'm being vague, but it's because it's the lounge. But, my above point was about immaturity and tastelessness and that becoming the norm.

          I do not study real history and do play videogames, but still agree with you.

            Took the SO to a B&B for her birthday. We don't watch TV at home so having a little free time we watched the TV in the room. A commercial came up for dudewipes/[^] and my first thought was, seriously! I thought the Viagra commercials were tasteless.

            The commercial obviously worked: you're still thinking about it, and you've just subjected the rest of us to it and linked to the website! :laugh:

                There's a comedian on Netflix named Burt Kreischer ("the machine"). He said sometimes he spits on the toilet paper first. Yup. Calls it an Alabama wet wipe.

                  that's just nasty. You don't want to use them if you are on septic. There is no flushable wipe safe for the tank.

                                I had to go pick up some groceries on Saturday and the radio was broadcasting coverage of a NASCAR race and the name of it was the Dude Wipes 300 (number may have been different). I couldn’t believe it. Reminded me of this bit Larry The Cable Guy did a while back. Warning: NSFW: NASCAR - YouTube[^]
