Just a place for my thoughts

I'd Like to phone a friend....

I have two questions for the reading audience today. #1 is a poll question.

What is your most hated commercial?
Since I listen to the radio more than television, I would have to say the Ovaltine commercials are the worst. I just cannot stand the whole Ozzie and Harriet approach. I am to the point of changing the station when they come on.

What are your worst favorites?



Question # 2 is an essay question.

I saw Natalie Portman do an interview just recently. She and many other women these days seem to think it is sexy to let their voices be really raspy. They try to talk low and sultry and it comes out sounding like your Aunt Betty who has had a three pack a day habit for the last 40 years.

When did this become sexy? Why do people think its sexy? When Oh When will it ever end?


Gritting my teeth…..

    Re: Question #2 - I had a low, raspy voice for several months due to a growth on my vocal cord. People on the phone always thought I was sick. In person, people always did a double take, as if my voice didn't match my face. Not once did I feel attractive or sexy with that voice... I'm with you on this one.
