The Shock Promo. I actually cover my eyes when the commercials come on. I don't mind that the shows themselves are on. Sure, it saddens me and loosens my already weak faith in humankind. But whatcha gonna do.
People love a good car crash.
I'm sure many people who see the promos will tune in so they can survey the rest of the disaster scene. Sprinkle a little spice in their brain. But I don't want to be subjected to the carnage. It's not the kind of spice I like. I don't want shocking things flashed in front of my eyes without warning.
