Stupid TV ad I see over, and over, and over...
It's for the "Capital One" credit card, showing a fake "castaway" on a island playing a joke on rescuers. :argh:

1. Man I HATE the commercial. I hope someday one of the 'rescuers'
knocks the guy out. At least that's what I would like to see happen.

2. I was appalled by that Ad also and quite frankly it's ...
...against the law.

What would be cool is if the rescuers said:
"Ha..Ha..That was funny, now both of you smart asses are going to jail".

Of course, what can you expect from Sleazy Capitol one...totally class-less.

4. If I recall correctly.........
at the end of the ad the castaway lies back down on the sand all by himself. I don't know if that implies they went away and left him there alone or not. But I agree it is against the law and it is not funny.

3. I don't like that one, but I hate the one in which a man is
choking and several people are sitting around discussing what the Heimlich maneuver is and another one comes over from another table after what seems to be an eternity and prevents him from choking to death. I hate hearing/seeing that.

Could this be a metaphor for Kerry...he'll save us from choking to death over what Bush has done to this country??
