It seems like no matter how old you are, at the end of August, you always get that itchy feeling that it’s time to go back to school. At least that’s how I feel. And I don’t mean going to college, I’m talking old school – grammar to middle school. And it doesn’t help when they keep playing these commercials to remind you to stock up on school supplies for your kids. The worst offender by far is K-Mart. Their ads are so annoying. And they play them like 50 gajillion times a day, 2 to 3 times during a commercial break. This gets very tedious, especially when you’re watching your soap (which I admit is rather annoying itself, but we are dedicated) and 90210 episodes. The ads feature these awkward pre-teens whisper-shouting to borrow protractors and pencils in class and sporting the “latest” fashions and backpacks. The one that I really hated was when this strange looking boy with a bowl cut tells a goofy girl with braces that he “likes her jeans.” What?! First of all, her jeans are floods! Second of all, no 12 year old boy is going to tell a brace face “I like your jeans.” This is what K-Mart wants you to believe. But believe me, it’s so not happening. And I should know because I had braces when I was 12. And I wasn’t getting compliments from any boys, awkward or cute. Well, at least I didn’t wear floods. Rant over.
