Give me a break!

... Someone pulls out in front of me when I'm driving, and then goes 25 mph in the passing lane. Nine out of 10 times the driver is yakking on their cell phone.

Bring on the June 2008 law that will mandate "hands-free" talking... darn it, though, that's not going to stop them talking, just means they'll have to have two hands on the steering wheel. Hmmm.

... Then there are the TV commercials that are obviously targeted at us "over 40" gals, claiming that we'll get great skin, reduce wrinkles, blah, blah, blah, by using this fantastic new moisturizer (that happens to cost oodles of cash). Sure, we can use this wonder cream and look like an air-brushed Penelope Cruz.. but she's in her late 20s! We all looked that good back then. Are we that gullible? If you want the answer to that one, stop by my house and I'll let you have a free sample...

... Why shouldn't I listen to hip-hop music? Just because I was a teenager when The Monkees were at the top of the charts doesn't mean I can't love today's music? Does it?
