It’s for U.S. Cellular, specifically advertising how great their streaming service is. You can even , the guy in the ad says, stream hours of grass mowing.

And I go… “wait a minute…that sounds weird…why hasn’t this ad ended yet?”

And I look at the bottom. 

the ad is seven hours long.

UPDATE

i’m half an hour in

the guy’s come back a couple times. his mower broke down and he went to get more gas. he came back and started it up again, drove around a few more times making comments about it being fun and “you still watchin? weird.” After a bit he took out a ruler and started measuring the grass.

He pulled out a book and a lawn chair and started reading, but he just left and said he’ll be back soon

he brought out an umbrella but it fell over so he left and came back and tried to fix it but it completely broke so he stalked off, dragging the chair behind him. i’m loving this.

HE BROUGHT OUT A HAND-HELD UMBRELLA

he’s really getting into the book

He put away the umbrella and book and stuff and now he’s measuring the grass again.

HE’S GONNA PLAY CROQUET

the sprinklers turned on…i’m two hours into this thing

more compelling than real tv tbh

“Dark Times” Progression

(( OOC: “Dark Times” was one of the first series I ever attempted to do back when I started this blog in 2015, and I’ve managed to remake it twice now. I thought it might be fun to have them all in one place so you guys can laugh at how dreadful it was and hopefully think “Boy, they’ve gotten a lot better”… hopefully. Omfg guys the first one’s so bad. Wtf was with Sirius and the fangs??? ))

Oh lord TT… see in the books one of the most powerful and soul-crushing images for me has always been the description in POA of Sirius Black laughing after he[peter] blew up that muggle block; there is just something so gut-wrenchingly /real/ about his breakdown, his raw hysteria, when he /knows/ the truly unfathomable. And you, my friend, have brought to life with such injurious clarity the visceral, incomprehensible horror that broke Sirius Black.

doctrwho:

everyone talks about “did you put your name in the goblet of fire” being the worst book to movie dialogue fail but lets be real the worst is where hermione answers a question in class and snape calls her an “insufferable know-it-all” and in the book ron is furious and he goes OFF and says “you asked a question and she knows the answer! why ask if you don’t want to be told?” but in the movies they just make him say “he’s got a point, you know” and i’m still mad about it
