why am i CONSTANTLY getting "Tractor Supply" Commercials on CNN?
i don't even think there is a store here in suburban Boston called "Tractor Supply"

they have tons of farm animals and stuff i don't see here in them. they talk with funny accents and tell my to by a tractor with a "27 inch cutting deck"

where the hell am i gonna put THAT BEAST? :shrug:

my yard is nice and all but it just ain't that big!!

why don't we have the technology to custom tailor our commercials to things that i might ACTUALLY WANT AND USE?????

1. I'm in suburban Boston and I don't see them
I have RCN,maybe that's it,or else I'm tuning out the ad.

It's like those Red Lobster ads that are all over the place,and God knows where they are.

4. I'm in Seattle and we get the Tractor Supply ads
I'm not sure why, either. At first I just saw them on sports package channels (pay per view sports) but now I get them on regular ESPN too. I've never even seen one of their stores.

6. They're every-fucking-where here in the Dakotas.

If your town around these parts has at least 1,000 people, then you have a TSC.

Basically a hangout for freeps, hicks and rednecks.

7. They are great stores, actually

although I am SURE they would draw and quarter you if you denigrated the Chimp-In-Charge, predicated on some of the discussions I have overheard. If you have large acreage or you need farm type stuff, they are the place to go. I bought a 125 gallon portable (like, in the bed of the truck portable) water tank from them, and if you break a hitch on a tractor that's where to go to find the replacement parts.

I have NO idea why they are advertising nationwide, though.

P.S. They also sell a calendar with pet rats on it, dressed in tiny football uniforms and flying helmets, amongst other things. :shrug:
