Commercials that are like allergies
A medical radio commercial that airs during Indians games:
What's your favorite sport to play? Is it golf? Or maybe jogging?
OK, jogging is not a sport. People who jog are not athletes. In fact, they invented jogging for people who were too unathletic to run. Jogging is an activity, like chess is an activity. As a sportswriter, I cover running, and I cover golf. Jogging is not something I write about. It isn't in the olympics, and the mere insinuation that jogging is a sport umdermines the term "sport" in general.
The very idea that this commercial was ever made gives me pause about understanding human intelligence.
