You can tell it's Fall because...

St. Jude's, Shriner's have been a constant all year and the Medicare commercials have already started.

R1 Haven't seen the Medicare commercials in my area. I have seen St Jude's and Shriner's during the year, but not as in heavy rotation as they have been the past week or so. I mean every single commercial break now.

And I've seen a lot of new St Jude's commercials just this weekend (I was just introduced to 'Lily' the child ballet dancer who can't move too well, but her dreams can come true thanks to St Jude). They're rolling them out and tugging at our heartstrings in this time of 'giving'.

I never noticed they pick up in the fall-- they seem to be year round.

Will Folger’s have their slutty incest commercial?

Simple solution: Don't watch commercials! I stream or record everything and subscribe to the premium services so I don't see them. And on the rare occasion that I can't avoid them, I hit the mute button.

It wasn't until last year that I started watching live TV again (mainly due to sports). It was weird since I would touch the fast forward button, but then remembered I couldn't skip. LOL. I was with my mom who is a boomer and so spent a lot of time sitting with her watching TV or it in the background. It feels like commercials are more annoying and no longer funny.

Cough it up, bitches! And no adowable bwankets this time around!

We had joy, we had fun…

What kind of sick fuck rags on St. Jude's?

Welcome to the DL.

Op if that is the way you gauge that it’s autumn, you’re to be pitted.

r9, I know, right?

R11's (presumed) typo made my day.

Danny, people who live under glass tables shouldn't throw stones.

R9 Those who know better when seeing these 'charities' exploit ill patients for profitable donations. Try to follow along.

R11 Pitted ? How do I get pitted ? Sounds interesting.

Pumpkin spice is being wheeled out in front of frenzied fraus.

Licking my ass

OED: exploitation - the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work. "the exploitation of migrant workers"

Since those kids are receiving free medical treatment, and their families are given free housing and food, I don't know that they are being unfairly treated. Not to mention that the vast majority never appear in ads...

Sun's not coming up so early in the morning. I really hate that, in summer.

I gave Kaleb a break once. Never again, the brittle little backstabber.

Because OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG everything is coming up PUMPKIN FUCKING SPICE!!!!!!!!!

I turn the channel when those damn ASPCA commercials come on. They have another one less gruesome about a baby elephant left alone in’s the wilderness after the mother is killed. Total bullshit. Elephants live in female herds, the others would take care of the baby if something happened to the mother.

A cool gust of wind blew right up my ass!

I always wonder if these commercials would be twice as effective if they were half as long and schmaltzy.

They are exploiting their situations, which is horrible. I don't care what they're getting for free.

My ass wind is powerful

I flow like a water buffalo

Yes, those commercials are heartbreaking and disturbing. It's gotten to where as soon as there's a commercial break I turn the damned channel. Same thing with the animals being abused. I have to walk away because that's heartbreaking, too. Just fucking sadness everywhere.

Bump for Chwismas.

Kaleb is now a teen. With that handsome mug, I'll bet he's breaking as many hearts as he is bones.

R9, people who don't think that the CEO of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, James Doening, should get a $60k bonus on top of his annual base salary of $1.19 million

Adowable.

I donated to St. Jude and received a thank you note asking for more money

Tewible, r34!

St Jude’s and Shriners are dripping with billions of dollars. It’s absolutely shitty that they keep trying to get donations as if they’re about to go bankrupt or something

R31 Emmy should have asked Kaleb why he goes to Shriner's instead of St. Jude's. Start a fight netween the two right on her podcast !
