I love American Idol, but its commercial breaks are longer than the show itself. If you add the previews (which duplicate most of the content,) there’s time to accomplish quite a bit between segments.
How do you use all that time?!
Here’s my list of 10 tasks you can complete during an American Idol commercial break:
- Pay the bills.
- Give the dog a bath.
- Clean out the garage.
- Make popcorn… for the neighborhood.
- Repair a popped balloon.
- Install software on Windows.
- Navigate the menu of telephone prompts to get a live person at the phone company.
- Replay Obama’s inaugural address.
- Explain Twitter to your grandmother.
- Delouse a screaming child.
Those commercials make up a good part of one’s evening. Why just sit there?
