Anyone else getting pissed off by these things? They seem to be everywhere I go on the net (viewed from any computer at work or home). They must have a lot of money to be doing saturation marketing, but I hope they lose a whole lot more.
Pretty soon we're going to see the damn things in SL. "Craziest ring tone ever!" f^ck3r$!
I also hate "I'm loving it!" A f^ck!ng child did it the other day in the store at a random moment. I almost mcvomited right there.
I suppose this thread won't last long without group participation, so what ads piss you guys off?

On the bright side, they're facing a LAWSUIT for false advertising!

The best thing I ever did was stop watching television.
I remember hating Mitsubishi's "Go Get a Gallant" radio and TV campaign during the 90s. I think that lasted 2 solid years. _____________________

I cant remember the name of the drug.. of course it will come to me after i post.. but the ones about the guy who can now get it up.. and he tells all his friends and smiles like an idiot throughout? His wife looks plastic and they dress like they are from the 50s? lol
Those commercials are just so completely retarded. Specially the one with the commercial in the commercial. Big Bart or some crap. Anyone know what im talking about? lol Penial Dysfunction drug. That and any kind of yeast infection or Always pads commercials. Sheesh enough already. I knew I would remember. Enzite I think is the spelling. |

Yeah those Jamster ads suck
** Has anyone noticed their little frog dude has a little *ahem* twig between his legs? That little item caught the eye of the UK ads watchdog, and now all the tv adverts show a black box over the offending area |

Ahhh...you mean "Smiling Bob", the now-big-weenied star of the Enzyte ads. Pitting his now-giant American wang against a boardroom full of Japanese businessmen only served to add fuel to the possibly false stereotype concerning asian weenie sizes...

It may take me "out of the loop" of many pop-culture topics, but I have never once regretted giving up TV. I pretty much stopped making references to the commercial of the week n crap like that.
However, on the net... I really don't like those "free ipod" or "free psp" or "free DS" campaigns. _____________________

That explains why the little trollish character has a bad clip art fig leaf over his genital region on the newest ads I've seen of him on the net. _____________________

I haven't seen the Jamster ads here in the LA area.
