What-Carole-McKee-thinks

I'm getting truly disgusted with some of these commercials. Two struck a nerve last night. Little Halo Oranges The little kid in the commercial catches his dad picking up one of his Halo Oranges and immediately adopts a posture of accusation. Dad asks if it's okay if he has one of the kid's Halos and the kid comes back with a smart mouthed response.  How selfish can that little brat be? He has a whole box of them!  Not to mention that he probably didn't pay for them--his dad probably bought them.  But how about how disrespectful to the man the kid is? If I ever used that tone or used that smart mouth, I would have no mouth to speak with today. So....The company that markets Little Halo Oranges is condoning DISRESPECT  and SELFISHNESS . Chevy Tahoe This ad shows a girl being driven home after she finishes babysitting. The mother of the children pulls out her wallet to pay this young girl, and clarifies that it's $40. Now that's a whole lot of mon...

Oh boy! What some people think is funny is so far beyond my reasoning! Two-and-a-half Men First, when Charlie Sheen was on this show, I couldn't enjoy it because of Charlie's character and how he viewed women. I thought it was disgraceful. But NOW?   Alan Harper, who used to be the decent respectful one has gone way, way over to the other side. I finally just flipped the channel because I just couldn't watch any more.  So now...Alan is a freeloader , living off of a person who is not related to him...living free of charge...and yet still tries to get more than has already been extended to him. SO   NOT FUNNY! But to make his character even worse, he has suddenly become a "Charlie-plus." His attitude and behavior toward women is worse than Charlie's character!  He's CRUDE.  He's DISGUSTING.   He's OBNOXIOUS.   Who likes this stuff? There is nothing funny, enjoyable, or appealing about a man who mooches off of someone, tries to ta...

Okay.....everybody I talk to, every single person I know and some I have never met, all complain that members of Congress do not have to pay into Social Security and get to retire at full pay, get secret service protection, and medical care coverage.  Not one person likes it. Not even one person thinks it is fair. Every person wants it changed. SO WHY IS IT NOT CHANGED? I have filed petitions, gotten signatures, written to the governmental bodies, and yet this changes nothing. Now....anybody who thinks that these people in Washington are working for us-- WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, is sadly mistaken.  This is the reason why Social Security and Medicare are so often attacked by Congress. It's because IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM! These politicians say they work for us? TELL THEM TO CHANGE THIS!!! They won't, because THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! They work for themselves and the big businesses in whose pockets they lie in. ...

Justin , when you first started out you were a good-looking, talented kid who any mother would be proud to call her son. WHAT HAPPENED? You are still good-looking and talented, but your mother has to be highly embarrassed by your behavior. You went from being a great kid to an obnoxious punk. Maybe your fans think your antics are cute, but just remember--they grow up just as you should have.  When your fans move on to someone who is more sophisticated and mature, you will be left behind and eventually you will have nothing. GROW UP, KID! You have a responsibility to your fans, your mother, and the general public as well.  Egging your neighbor's house? How childish is that?  Underage drinking? How illegal is that?  Drugs? How irresponsible is that? Drag racing? How dangerous is that?  You do realize that there are other innocent people on the road, don't you? People whose lives you are putting in jeopardy. It's time to straighten up and f...

Has anyone seen the latest Old Spice commercials? Oh My GOD!!  For those who haven't seen them, they show a boy's mother following him around and singing about how her son is misbehaving by kissing girls, and acting like a man; claiming that it's the fault of Old Spice .  The commercials are straight from the memoirs of Oedipus ' mother. Talk about sickening! Excuse me while I puke!  Whatever happened to good taste in advertising? These foul, disgusting commercials need to be removed from the sight of the television viewing audience. Whoever thought this ad campaign up needs to be fired. On a better note:   Geico --don't ever let go of whoever is in charge of your advertising. Every one of your ads are just terrific. I laughed all night and I still laugh when I remember the one about "the oldest trick in the book." That is hilarious. Keep it up, Geico Advertising department. .......AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK.....................

I have not been able to access this blog is weeks. Months! I don't know why, but I hope that whatever the problem was, it's gone now. So.....hello again! Lets' get right to it. Legalized Marijuana: Yea or Nay?  I say YEA! Now please keep in mind that I have never smoked a joint--ever. It just has never been my thing. Personally it does not appeal to me. But I think it should be legal to sell, buy, and use. As a rule, alcohol doesn't appeal to me either, and it's legal already. Now marijuana either appeals to you or it doesn't. Just because it's made legal, trust me, I am not going to suddenly develop a desire for it and run out to buy it. I don't think anyone else will either. There are many good reasons for legalizing marijuana , but here are my main reasons. 1. Government revenue. Not just a sales tax, either. Growers should purchase a license to grow it. No license, no growing. That should be the law. Anyone caught growing without a license...

I'm not sure if everyone in the country sees this one, but let me tell you I never wanted to smack someone in the face as badly as I do this girl. Have you seen the Eight O'clock Coffee commercial? The girl is in for an interview when see spies a coffee pot and a bag of Eight O'clock Coffee . Without being offered, she jumps up and helps herself to a cup of coffee.   The interviewer enters and compliments the girl on a fantastic resume, and the girl begins slurping up the coffee out of her cup! She stands there slurping and holding up her index finger, indicating that the interviewer should wait. Oh! I want to slap her!   The best thing about the entire commercial is that the interviewer drops the girl's resume into a shredder while she is still slurping her coffee.   I mean....come on! I thought commercials were supposed to appeal to our senses of decorum, taste, and pride. This commercial shows a girl who is rude, with poor drinking ha...
