Had another one of those funny revelations today with my roomate. We were sitting around watching TV and we started talking about the ridiculous commercials currently on the radio for Monster Jam. The commercials haven’t changed much since I was little. It’s always this coming weekend at the (insert local arena name). You always have to look forward to the “CAR CRUNCHIN’ MEGASAURUS!”. You usually have an opening act to be excited about such as “QUAD WARS!”, or some guy named bob that does wheelies on a dirtbike for half an hour before the monster trucks. Here’s the kicker: “KIDS SEATS ARE STILL JUST 5 BUCKS!!!!”. I’m talking still…after all these years. They’re still just fuckin’ 5 bucks. Inflation, the economy, gas prices. Folks, Monster Jam is effected by none of these things. I can’t even get a god damn Big Mac meal for 5 bucks. Half the bars down here are more than 5 bucks for a decent beer. Thank the maker that I can still take my offspring to see Gravedigger, Maximum Destruction, and 10,000 rednecks trying to yell over the sound of enormous trucks with loud exhaust pipes driving around in-doors for still…just 5 bucks.
