Thanks to the DVR and Tivo, watching commercials is most a thing of the past for people like me. I record almost every show I want to see, then I just watch it while fast-forwarding through the commercials.
But every once in a while I catch a few of the new commercials out there, and none bother me more than the ridiculous $1.00 menu commercials that companies like McDonalds and Wendys have.
These commercials usually show a guy walking into a store and all his has to his name is a single $1 bill, nothing else. He proceeds to ask what he can get for that and of course, they point him to the $1 menu.
So my question is, how is he paying for the taxes? Are McDonalds and Wendys telling us they won't charge us taxes if we don't have money? That's good to know I guess.
