The maiden post of the Soap Box Hero blog. Welcome and have at.
Every single commercial break, same damn sob story commercial. Same one! Over and over and over. And if it's not the Mother Hubbard, it's other one. It's another animal sob story commercial. Or another sob story about that kid having to walk a mile for water.
Look, I'm not saying the world is perfect. Yes, child hunger -- ANYONE's hunger -- is a travesty in a world or country that can afford and has the ability to feed everyone. NO ONE should go hungry. And the crime of animal hunting for trophies is beyond criminal--I blame that Orange Buffoon, but that's another rant for another day. The hunters and poachers should be shot.
But Jesus H Roosevelt Christ, there is such a thing as overkill. As saturating the market. I don't even listen to these things anymore. I stopped listening long ago. It hurts my soul because there's nothing I can do about it. I do my little bit but, fuck... And you know what? After seeing that damned Mother Hubbard commercial at least 6 times an hour for the last two hours, I don't give a damn anymore. I change the channel rather than listen or watch. Mother Hubbard? Get your goddamn tubes tied and stop having so many children, if you can't feed them. Welcome to the real world.
And I don't like being like that. I'm not hard hearted. I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of others. I wasn't raised to be that way. If I have it, I share it. I give it. But not with these constant barrage of commercials. Sparingly is how you hook people in. Not beating them over the head with the constant sob story hammer.
I'M DONE!!! ENOUGH!!!
