What thing on TV makes you want to pull your hair out the most??
Whether it's on a commercial or a TV show??

NON-POLITICAL, PLEASE.

The thing on TV I absolutely cannot STAND more than anything else is that Levitra commercial where that slutty woman talks about "enhancing the (sexual) experience" in some kind of whorish voice that I cannot STAND. My finger can't find the mute button fast enough on that one.

What makes you want tear out your hair and saw off your ears more than anything else??

1. The fact that the majority of Americans think TV is "good" or "essential"
or "a place to learn things".

16. My eight year old daughter screams "NOT BOB!!!!!"
Every time the damn thing comes on...she doesn't know what it's for, but she can see it's stupid. Why do they always show 2 back to back? Why never just one?

29. Bob's wife
My sister-in-law bears a strong resemblance to Bob's happy wife, with the same vapid smile. It's made me think of my brother in a whole new way. Eeeewwwwww.

9. Everything.
I actually wish I had a woman as hot for me as that woman in the Levitra commercials...

Wonder how her tune's gonna change when she hits Menopause and her "man" is still chasing her around the house going "Hey look, Honey! I'm a Russian tank! Let's fuck AGAIN!"

12. all of it
I can't watch TV for longer than 1 hour now- and even then, that's pushing it. "The Daily Show" is really the only show I look forward to.
I just feel like my brain is rotting when I watch TV...

18. I NEVER thought I would say this because I used to be
such a t.v. junkie, but I agree with you. I'm feeling that way lately and I'm thinking of actually giving up my cable. I used to read ALL the time and I bet I haven't picked up a book in over a year. I think I was happier when I was reading more.

26. Just when I'm ready to cut the cable and give up on the Vast Wasteland
Battlestar Galactica comes out.

“There’s a reason why we separate military and the police: one fights the enemy of the State, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the State tend to become the people.”

19. Dorky guys with beautiful model-ish wives
or car commercials ie shiny cars and annoying electronic music.

I was going to mention infomercials, but they're just too damn funny, rather than annoying.

20. Those Dodge commercials...
...promoting the "HEMI" or whatever the fuck it is, with that manly man's man father teaching his kid the value of having a gas-guzzling SUV (see, his wife was teaching him all sorts of fruity things, and he was afraid the kid might grow up to be a "fag"). Enjoy Peak Oil, you Bush-voting moron.

HEMI powered my ass.

28. Maxi-pad and tampon ads
Well, didn't you know that when on your period, sitting down for a long time and then standing up can cause surprise leaks and odors. Oh, yeah, and now tampons are so small, your date will think it's candy. And that you can now swim when your on your period because of tampons? And since when is menstrual blood as thin as the blue liquid they use in ads to demonstrate the power of absorbency? Yay to all environment destroyers like maxi-pads and tampon applicators. :eyes:

30. The sad, tragic decline of SNL.
I think it's time to just cancel it. It's lame, stupid, unfunny and pathetic to watch.
