It would be a relief to be constantly bombarded by commercial messages that you can't quite see and hear.kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-49922952646946507642012-08-16T15:00:40.864-06:002012-08-16T15:00:40.864-06:00What more can I say.

Maybe the end of the post explained it all: they wanted to torture you with noise everywhere in the building so that you would go sit in the new cars in the showroom.<br /><br />Personally I find the gas pump TVs the most obnoxious, although they are getting competition from the end caps at Walmart.kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-77983772559849532762012-08-15T17:07:23.063-06:002012-08-15T17:07:23.063-06:00I must agree to all of the above as well.
