Mozy sez: Your laptop might get run over with a lawn mower..
Or you might put your laptop in the microwave.

SO GIVE US YOUR MONEY IDIOTS!

Gawd I hate commercials these days. They are relentless and manipulative in the extreme. Yea, I know it's nothing new, but IMO it's getting worse by the day. So bad in fact that I feel it's necessary to post about it on DU even though it's probably not appropriate at all. :)

OnStar, LifeLock, Mozy and Brinks Home Security are by far the worst offenders. I hate them all, just based on their ads.

1. Yeah I hate those "Are you too stupid to live?" type of commercials...

"Do you have trouble opening doors?"

-Cue clip of moderately attractive woman pawing futilely at a doorknob, finally giving up with an exasperated shrug while looking at the camera-

"If so try the new Door-Opener-3000!"

-Cue shot of gaudy 30-cent piece of crap that's obviously been re-purposed from it's past life as: 1) something actually useful or 2) another worthless piece of crap-

"It can be yours for 17 easy payments of $9.93!"
