Take a flying leap.

Honda has a new set of commercials out. And they annoy me.

They're all about "leaplists"- which first off, I've never even heard of. I think they made them up. Apparently one is supposed to make a"list" before taking big steps in life? I was unaware.

First off, I'm not big on making lists regarding life experiences. Name something awesome: I want to do it. It's that easy! Why write it all down and limit it to just one list? Name a country: let's go! Name a hobby: I'll try it! Name a food: bon appetit! I'm not promising I'll enjoy it all... but hey, why not give it a shot?

The scenarios I've seen depicted thus far are 1) getting married and 2) having babies. And while I can sorta kinda maybe see (if I squint really hard) the idea of the baby one, it still annoys me. It's like they're saying you're no longer allowed to live once you procreate.
 
And the marriage one? The fact that they even thought to create that one makes me sad. Let me tell you something: If you marrying someone will end all other exciting times in your life from that point on, so much so that you're forced to get it all out of your system and fulfill all your desires before you walk down the aisle: YOU'RE MARRYING THE WRONG PERSON.
 
I'd love to see some commercials about all the amazing things you can do WITH your new spouse or kids. C'mon Honda. Get it together.
