Who Will Stop The Evil Jogger? (Morford on *'s America - great read)

[TomInTib]

One TV commercial says all you need to know about GW Bush's America. And trophy wives

Here is your fear.


Here is your fear kicked and stomped upon and artificially inflated and jabbed with pointy rusty knives by teams of meandering capitalist jackasses over at a big American home security company and the advertising agency they've hired to openly hate you.

Here is this security company's TV commercial (which one doesn't really matter) running on late-night television just after "Lost" but before "The Daily Show" and wedged precariously between dinner and a walking nightmare and a fistful of inane insulting social detritus:

Scene: Friendly upscale white-bread tract-home Wisteria Lane yuppie nightmare blissland. Sunshine, manicured lawns, white male jogger casually running down street. Yuppie penguin-suited husband kisses wife goodbye in perfect utopian doorway and walks to his shiny car as smiling blond Botoxed wife goes back inside and closes front door and, oddly, immediately arms fancy home security system on ugly-ass yuppie McMansion. Beep beep beep blip. All zones secure. Yay.
