So, I'm reading an interesting web article about a younger senator who had a stroke.
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46193060/ns/health/
With my renewed focus on eating right these days, I wanted to see if his condition was a diet related illness - turn out it may or may not have been. However, the article went on to discuss the increase in strokes among the younger - particularly in the Bible belt areas (south east/central U.S.) who's diet and weight are a huge problem. Here's the funny part of this not-so-funny subject:
Right when the article started discussing more common strokes among the younger generation, I look to the immediate right of the discussion, and there it is... an advertisement for Hamburger Helper. You can't make this stuff up people!
It turns out that these are revolving advertisements - hit refresh it goes to Weight Watchers. Hit refresh again, its Sears. And again, its cut-rate insurance. Still.... what are the odds that Hamburger Helper come up when I read this thing.
