I was sitting here, watching tv, and a B----s Home Security commercial came on. There was a lovely woman speaking to her husband on the phone; adorable children playing in the back ground. Just as Mom was hanging up, a terrible sound -that of the front door being kicked in - shattered the soothing tones of a Friday night spent at home with the family.
Mom grabs the kids and runs to her bedroom, locking the door behind her. The phone rings. She picks up. "This is B----s Home Security. Is everyhting alright", the dashingly good looking fellow in the call center asks.
"No! Someone just kicked in the front door!"
*GASP*
"I'm calling the local police department right now, ma'am. We'll have someone there right away!"
Ok, here's where I have a problem: whilst showing the scene of the perp. breaking down the front door, they neglected to be concerned with one MINOR detail - the freakin burglar looks like the little league baseball coach. You know that guy - clean shaven, short hair, intelligent looking fellow wearing the baseball cap. Basically, the guy next door. As unfortunate as it is, this sort of person does not knock down your front door trying to break in. If there is an idiot out there stupid enough to try to break down the door, while all of the lights are on and it's obvious that someone is home, he does not look like Johnny B. Good.
Am I wrong that assuming just about every burglar has some sort of unfortunate physical malady (i.e. has a drug problem, missing teeth, sallow skin due to poor nutrition and/or drug habit, poor, unstable mental condition)? Are there wholesome looking crooks busting into peoples' homes? If there are, I'm sorry in advance. I did not mean to be a stereotyper. And if anyone suffers from any of those ailments, again I apologize. It's wrong of me to assume anything (you know that assuming makes an ass out of you and me). I just get into these crazy mind sets and can't think about anything other than ADVERTISING IS THE DEVIL'S PLAY THING. Don't mind me - it's late and I'm going to bed.
