WTF?

Why is Bill O'Liely hawking "Relaxium" on MS NOW?
Are advertising dollars that's difficult to come by that they'll let some lying misogynist sell snake-oil in prime time?
What next, Alex Jones telling everyone his perineum wipes are recommended by Gawd himself?

I always mute commercials, and most of the time completely ignore them on the screen, but this one got through my shields. 😱

Sorry about that. It's been a very tough Thursday and Friday.
