I thought we had a thread on this, but couldn't locate it.
Anyway, I've been ill lately and watching television was about the only activity I had any energy for.
I am totally amazed at some of the advertising I see lately. If commercials are an icon for events happening in society, the US is about to change big-time.
* As we've all noted a large number of commercials feature bicycles, usually in a positive mode, usually as a recreational/health icon. For example, men with enlarged prostate are riding their bicycles (after taking Flomax). However, there are also a number of sleek lifestyle images of regular citizens just getting from A to B. That's now happening...

I couldn't find the YouTube for the commercial, but it features two elderly (and I assume gay) ladies talking about just ordinary things. It was all so natural and yet a watershed moment.... amazing. If I find it, I'll post.
I haven't watched TV in a while. Have things changed?
