The fact there's a rolling set of commercials from all the truck brands during every hockey game, is getting really tiring. And all of them seem to be the same commercial...something something you're a working man hero....something something tougher than tough...

As the resident truck guy, even I find those commercials pathetic. All of them. The whole bit about how you're the local hero for going to work, and needing a truck to do so, on to the toughness of the truck, with the giant boulders being dumped into the back, or building a ball park because you got a baseball through the window (and then the idiot proceeds to orient the diamond so that more balls will go through his window)... Then there's the inevitable tough guy background music that sounds like a sledgehammer hitting a rail spike or something, or some super macho cowboy voice going on about the horsepower and the TORQUE. And if it's not that, it's chunk of cast iron with some BS emblazoned on it, landing on rock, and breaking the rock. Because this truck is soooo tough, and so are you, just because you're driving it!!
