In retrospect, it wasn't that great ten years ago, either.

I'm watching TV and a commercial for Olive Garden comes on, and it's totally the same style as every Olive Garden commercial you've ever seen, only they're using a cheerful, pop-ish version of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" as the music. I'm not so much surprised as I am even more disgusted with the Smashing Pumpkins. I clearly think "Bad call, Billy."

Changing channels

I am at my parents', my dad's in the recliner watching a sporting event of some sort, and he calls me into the den because Phil is part of the teeming crowd, and the camera has zoomed in on him. My dad shushes everyone in the room as the announcer says, "And now we have a very special message from someone in the crowd," and the camera zooms in on the Jumbotron image of Phil, who starts to say something about a very special woman in his life...

I lean in to the television and try to turn the volume up, but the channel changes. I panic. Everyone in the room is all, "TURN IT BACK!!" I try going back to the channel, but I can't find it anywhere.
