Do we quickly, do we have time for me to bang out a creep?

Creep, creep, creep of the week, of the week.

He or she is the creep of the week.

This week it's the state of 21st century fitness ads and videos.

You know, 20, 25 years ago it was, you know, it was Jane Fonda and leg warmers and Dick Simmons sweating to the oldies.

Sure.

But have you noticed in the last several years it's getting more and more intense to the point of it being so obnoxious and emasculating to be a TV viewer?

I didn't buy your video, you understand.

But the names of these things, Insanity, P90X, what kind of scary concoction lies within whatever you get when you order P90X?

I don't know.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like that would be something you'd want.

Yeah, get rid of your DNA.

Right.

There are a lot of people in that business, too.

Yeah, so you watch these ads, and I wonder what happens with these things, but they're all about, like, this workout is so insane, you really shouldn't be doing it.

You're probably going to die, but there's a chance that you'll pull through and look better on the other side.

But where it really crosses the line for me is when it is just on a commercial.

I'm watching regular old TV, minding my own business, watching a ball game or whatever.

And all of a sudden, you know, some ex-MMA guy starts yelling at me.
