Two commercials I can't stand on TV
The first:
The ebay commercial. It's annoying music and I can only think that they give away all personal data without a subpoena.

The kids in the race. One builds a damn hummer, basically cheats due to the rules not being specific enough, and wins with a shit ass look on his face.

Just some observations noticed while watching football.

1. Using "Happy Jack" in a Hummer commercial
Pisses me off.

3. For some dumb reason
Aside from the toenail fungus character (shudder), the commercials that really get to me are for useless household cleaner products. Plug-in air fresheners, disposable mops. I keep thinking "Wouldn't an Iraqi woman feel jealous knowing American women have such fabulous things to keep their houses cleaner than clean?" Not!

4. Soon, we'll be plugging ourselves in
to refresh ourselves and not offend others with sensitive noses.

5. Two words: Old Navy
I hate all of their commercials, especially the earlier ones with Morgan Fairchild and that fashion lady (who I've been assured is dead now).

7. I love (NOT) those commercials that show people breaking the law
great for teens...showing a car barrelling down the street and they are selling you on this car because it can speed and somehow avoid either killing the driver/innocent bystanders/other drivers or fly by under radar and not get a ticket???

I remember when they STARTED advertising bras...they were under sweaters of course, back then. I remember saying to my sister...one day they will be advertising Kotex...LOL...was I naive!! :bounce: :hi:

8. Holy Boogers, you reminded me of another one
Edited on Sun Sep-28-03 04:45 PM by SingSong
some feminine hygiene product (tampons?) in a classroom that ends with the instructor saying something like "I hope you brought enough"

sick shit. I know women need and use these products, but this was just ignorant and offensive.
