When I was a kid, I would get up early so that I could watch Pokémon sitting in a blue microfiber recliner I called “The ComfortZone” every day before I left to go to school. I’m assuming because of how ad space is sold for children’s programming [...] there were only seven or eight total commercials that ever played [during the local airings of Pokemon]; of course, in fast order, my siblings and I memorized every single one of them. This prompted some pretty strange, automatic reactions from us each time one of these ads came on, as we would quickly repeat jingles and ad copy, and hold jerky re-enactments of the clip of “Don’t You … Forget About Me” by Simple Minds featured in the compilation CD commercial.

I think the reason Sears is going out of business is because for over a decade they thought their primary demographic for central air conditioners was 6-15 year olds watching cartoon reruns while on summer vacation.
