These days TVs are ubiquitous. You can’t get away from them. Thus, against my will, I’m forced to endure shows that I would normally avoid like the plague they are, things such as soap operas, reality shows, and Fox News. On one recent occasion I was in a place where a TV in the background was tuned to one of those insipid shopping channels. I’ve never actually seen one, only known of them as the butt of jokes, their only worthy purpose as far as I can tell.

This time, however, I came upon a revelation. In the midst of one of his nonsensical sales pitches, the unctuous host announced he’d be back after a commercial! A commercial?!? In the middle of what amounts to a perpetual commercial? I thought I’d drifted off into the Twilight Zone. Or Bizarro World. Or my worst nightmare.

Appropriately enough, the commercial was for a drug to treat depression. Here’s a thought: You want to ward off depression?

Turn off the freaking TV!!!

I feel better now.
