We now return you to our regularly scheduled commercial

Now that the election is over, all the political ads go away and we can get to commercialism as usual. And if you work nights like me, you get back to the lawyer/technical school commercials. Here's a few examples of my favorites (just pictures, not video, sadly):

Yes, if you're at home during the day, you must not have a job. Hey, the market's rough. That high school diploma just isn't going as far as you thought it would. What do you need? Training! And you know what, for $80,000 we can give you hands-on training. That's right! You actually get to touch the stuff you'll one day be working on. And once you finish your program you can go get a job earning minimum wage. That way you'll have the motivation to keep working forever!

And then we have the lawyers. These guys are Brown and Crouppen. Maybe you're at home because you were hurt. Maybe you got hurt somewhere, like at work. If so, we can sue the heck out of them and then you won't need to work again. Except with steep legal fees, you won't have any money. Then you'll need to go to ITT to get hands-on training. If you have a hand. If you lost your hand, then you can get hand-on training. Or foot-on, or something. Whatever.

I guess the thing these two industries have in common is they get a lot of money. From you. In the case of the technical schools, you don't even have to succeed. Just as long as you pay your bills. With the lawyers, well, sometimes they won't charge you if you lose. But if they win, you better hope they win big just to cover the legal fees.

So, hooray, end of political ad season. I'll see you in 12-18 months!
