Annoyance of the month ;)

I'd like to put out a murder contract for a TV commercial character. This is the most annoying character I have seen in a very long time. This character challenges my tolerance in every way--his voice is like nails on a chalkboard, making me shiver whenever I hear it, his obnoxiousness is only on level with that I have of Sarah Palin, and overall, his presence makes me want to leave the room and go to the john.

And who is this loathesom character? That freaking, shrill Geico pig. I just wish SOMEONE would turn into bacon, and this from someone who is mostly a vegetarian!

I was so going to smack you.

But the Geico pig! Oh yes, that pig would have a lifelong vegan craving bacon.

The one I can't stand right now is the one with the mountain climbers and and that horrible voice shreiking "Somebody left the gate OPE...." !!! I HATE that commercial and can't get to the mute button fast enough.

what does it have to do with the commercial... and like you suggest you can't even here the last word "open". The mountain climbers did, apparently, climb that narrow rock which is very impressive. It gives me vertigo just thinking about it.
