		<description><![CDATA[Mixing camping with must-see TV?
Honestly, how much could this fan be &#8220;enjoying&#8221; a game of football on a three inch screen while camping, especially since he probably has 50&#8243; HDTV at home? Grow a pair and pick one: Get away from it all in the great outdoors or stay home to watch a game you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because sitting through a two-hour moving on a single sofa is so hard these days. Or waiting for popcorn to pop while a movie is paused is excruciatingly slow.
DirecTV&#8217;s response: &#8220;We better make it easy for people to pause dramatic movie scenes between kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom TVs. It&#8217;s not like they&#8217;re going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That, and it makes excellent use of In the Hall of the Mountain King. Unfortunately, self-discipline is the only way &#8220;to save us from our phones,&#8221; not another phone. Canceling your data plan helps too. But you gotta mind those texts as well.

		<description><![CDATA[Appropriately making its debut during halftime of the USA-England World Cup game last Saturday, I love this commercial. Freedom aside, I also love all three American muscle car reboots: Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro very much included. Would probably buy the Mustang though.

Still, iPhones are probably the most overstated status device of the decade. Case in point: Apple&#8217;s latest &#8220;Did you get my email?&#8221; commercial (shown), which attempts to embellish and sell three bad behaviors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a teetotaler. But I can&#8217;t stop laughing at The Most Interesting Man in the World, the fictional celebrity endorser for Dos Equis beer (similar to Chuck Norris Facts). As usual, the new ad spots are proof positive that beer advertisers are the funniest in the world.
But I digress. I&#8217;m not here to talk about [...]]]></description>
