I try not to be an impulse buyer. Impulse buying gets people into trouble!

TV will no longer have commercials. People will pay for the shows they want to watch, not 289 channels of crap. And finally we won't have food commercials on all night long. I am so hungry when I go to bed. I am not even hungry, but I want a cheeseburger. Stop programming us to be fat consumers.
