Artificial articulation with anthropomorphic dexterity

So, I'm in Florida at the moment. This means that:
  1. It's hot, while my friends back home are cold.
  2. I get to watch Jon Stewart every weekday.
  3. I have to drive on the right side of the road, and the wrong side of the car.
  4. Majorly booooring radio ads.
I'm not kidding people! There is a total of like 2 possible formulae (yes, I did just use the Latin plural. I'm incredibly smart) of ads here. This is ok, because more than half of the ads are for solutions to embarrassing personal ailments anyway. That's not how we kick it in the RSA. I don't wanna know that shit. Go see a doctor or something. Damn!

And what is it with the guy who cannot believe the deal he's getting? He's in every ad. Por examplar:
Mr Can't Believe It: You mean I can get my Herpes medication at half the price?
Voice Of Capitalism: Yup.
The No Way Kid: And you deliver?
Voice Of Capitalism: Yup.
Captain Incredulous: And it's a cream, not a suppository?!
Voice Of Capitalism: Yup.
*sound of head exploding from enthusiasm*
And then they always have to drop in a little joyjoy witticism at the end, viz:
Supersycophant: And will you blow me too?!
Voice Of Capitalism: Now, now - that's how this shit got started in the first place.
*sound of entire nation of America wetting themselves*
Ewww, dudes. Ewww.

The other day they had a guy on TV who got shot and still delivered the rest of his pizzas. The news anchor on American Dawn or whatever was doing her best to turn him into a hero while it became increasingly apparent that it really wasn't that big a deal. Why didn't he go to the hospital? Well it wasn't really that sore, and it wasn't bleeding that much. Whaddaya want? He delivered pizzas. He didn't rescue puppies. Why didn't he get hold of the police? They were busy and he had cash to make. Whatever. Getting shot in the leg isn't pain. Listening to an ad for something that makes your eyes produce more lubricant - that's pain.

According to reports Film and Publications Board CEO Shokie Bopape-Dlomo has slated e.tv for their late night porno ads. "The SABC and e.tv need to stop airing pornographic adverts because these encourage child pornography," she said.

Asked what else e.tv is doing wrong, she said that e.tv's coverage of the Shaik trial encourages "child fraud" and "child corruption".
