Looking Out To Sea

I’ve been listening to MovieWeb Soundtracks at work, as a source of music of reasonably predictable quality. It’s free except from the adverts that appear every two or three tracks. I wouldn’t normally include listening to adverts as part of the cost — I generally just zone them out — but these ones are so dreadful and obnoxious I have to remove my headphones for a minute while they last.

There’s a particularly horrible one that I’ve heard too many times:

“My daughter came home from school today and said:”

“Can we get candy for my valentine?”

“Wow! My little girl’s first valentine — but then she said:”

“Mom, I have 32 valentines.”

And then goes on to say how “Valentine candy” is wonderfully cheap at Walmart. Is that not just horrible?
