I'm surprised more people aren't naming their kids Mirena

The newest Mirena commercial ticks me off. It shows a youngish mother having an internal monologue about whether or not she should have a second child, while her existing kid (I guess he's somewhere between 3-5 years old?) goes about smearing paint on his arms, drawing on walls, playing in the mud, etc. I try to remember that I don't have kids of my own so I shouldn't judge but: maybe the fictional lady's problem is not that she can't decide whether or not she wants another kid. Maybe it's that she can't be arsed to watch the one she already has.

Watching shows like Bridezillas and Say Yes to the Dress has kind of killed any dreams I might have about getting married in a traditional wedding. Like at this point, if I were to get married, I don't think I'd even do the big, traditional wedding. I'd just have a wedding Mass in this dress and then lunch at the castle or something. Also, are there any people on Bridezillas who are not horribly ugly? I suppose that's par for the course but goddamn. And anyone bitching about the Philadelphia accent needs to listen some of these stereotypical Staten Island brides on repeat, apologize to Philadelphians, and then STFU.
