we are useless.

commercials and years of advertising have conditioned perfectly functioning people in to a consuming, groping, lazy and stupid existence.

things we don't know how to do:
1. eat
2. clean
3. date

these are some pretty major short-comings, considering. I admittingly am not the most health-conscious, tidy or even clean haired individual, and I can still get a date. but what kills me about this entire new low of being... everyone buys in to it?

things we don't need, in relevance to list 1. :
*ahem*
1. we dont need pre-packed, pre-portioned food.
for hundreds of thousands of years, the entire human race survived solely on their own ability to make the proper food choices for sustainability. we shouldn't have to be told how to eat, when to eat and what to eat. you don't need the .001 calories per pack oreo cookie nibbles, no matter what the box says. and as for convenience food, did you know you can buy infant sized microwave dinners? holy. shit.

ALL YOU HAVE EVER NEEDED.

2. lysol alone, has about 7000 products to make your life easier (and more disposible) than ever. hey, if youre not keen to grab a cloth and maybe a mild cleaning agent to get that pasta sauce off of your stove top, you are not alone! super-micro scubby disinfectant, power core, bubbly single-use washer cloths should do the trick. I like how they try and scare you with the computer edited germs on your every day things. "SWEET JESUS MY SON ALMOST TOUCHED OUR FILTHY HOME PHONE". good thing mum came to the rescue with an anti-bacterial home douching rag.

3. don't be such a tool.
