Life Insurance
Ever seen those tv commercials for life insurnace. Okay, I know it's the responsible thing to do and I have some of my own in case I croak, but I thinks it's a tad inappropriate that the people that have bought a policy sit there grinning from ear to ear as they watc their kids play on a swingset or sleep in their cozy beds. Seriously, like I'm going to be all bubbly and happy thinking, "YAY! If I die, my kids will have loads of dough> Never mind my being six feet under while they spend all that dough on twinkies and beer." I mean I'll be dead, so what's the occasion for celebration. Sure, make a TV commercial touting the benefits of buying life insurance to protect your family, but have the guy wear a solemn look that says, "I'm a responsible guy whose done the right thing. I pat myself on the back. And if my kids spend this money at the race track or brothel, their ass is mine. I will rise up from the grave and haunt them so mercilessly that they will beg for forgiveness everyday from within a padded cell at the institurion. " I think that would be a much more appropriate tone for such commercials, but hey, that's just my opinion.
