It so happened that I was able to experience a one hour and twenty minute wait at a doctors office. They happened to have a keruig, but no cups. They also happened to have a flatscteen television mounted in the corner of the room for all the hear and see. For the first severalintuesni was able to block out the sound but eventually it broke though my concentration on jetpack joyride. I noticed it was on channel 4 an it was tuning to an infomercial about a pillow that was the best pillow ever invented. The stocky middle aged man with facial hair and super thin woman said there was nothing healthier sold. They didn't bother to specify no healthier pillow they said nothing healthier in the world. There were numerous testimonials from people that seemingly owed their life to the pillow and the man claimed the pillow would do anything you would want it to. I could see why there was a disclaimer about the views on the show not being those of the station. It was interesting to see it was before a studio audience so the fifty some people all acted as if they loved the pillow and wanted others to have the same pillow.
This infomercial however was a light precursor to what came next; days of our lives. The show contained eveythibg that a large majority hope to eliminate and work hard to nullify in our society: arguments based on selfishness, violence, prattial sex, extra marerial affairs, excessive drinking, kidnapping, homosexuality represented as normal, and an almost atomic blast scale of lies and deceit. it was roughly a half hour of glorification of some of the worst qualities of the sin filled human species.
