My Furniture Doesn't Sing

Part of the "experience" of watching the Red Sox on a nightly basis is the commercials. Most of the time these thirty second interludes aren't so bad -- except that the Dunkin' Donuts spots make me really want a Dunkin' iced coffee (there are "zero" Dunkin' Donuts in Seattle). Help! Occasionally though a commercial comes along that just cannot be ignored. It becomes necessary to comment.

So...What's the deal with the Bob's Discount Furniture ads with the "singing furniture?" Why create an ad in which a dresser harmonizes with a bed, a table, and a lampshade? I must know. I wonder if anyone has ever returned a piece of Bob's furniture because it doesn't sing. I would.

BTW: I miss those old Dean's Home Furniture commercials: "Two armchairs, an end table and a lampshade for $699. I Doubt It!"

Anyway. The Sox lost. No comeback tonight. We'll get 'em tomorrow.

Note to Buffalo Sabres fans: Keep the faith. It's not impossible to come back from a 3-0 series deficit and win a championship. I swear.
