So I'm watching tv. On comes bad commerical #1 for The Bedazzler... starring Tana, the single soccer mom who somehow sold $10000 worth of "bedazzled" clothing & jewelry to other suckers.... um, er, Soccer Moms.
Heh, you thought SL Blingtards were bad? Now its in real-life!! I thought all this "rhinestone covered" crap died in the 70s. And now its back, as ugly as ever.
THEN comes on Bad Commerical #2 for The Video Professor. Now anyone can learn to use a computer by watching a video.... On the computer. Wha? If you cant use it, how are you watching the damn video!!!!! They interview this chunky built dingbat of a woman who says "My daughter knows more about the computer than me.... And she's only 3" Then she laughs. Um, ok. So your 3 yr old daughter is smarter than you?? Where've you been in the past 20 years lady??? Quit looking for her daddy at the local truck stops & pay attention!!!
Ok, I feel better now. Had to vent on those.

THEN comes on Bad Commerical #2 for The Video Professor. Heh. I actually know someone who ordered those and said they worked. But then, she's distantly related to Ron Popeil, so maybe As Seen On TV products are in her blood. _____________________

Fortunately, instead of finding the commercial that drives me nuts, I was able to find a parody of it:

I hate those new Mac commericals.
There's also these hummer commercials. Add in that they prominently display the "15 MPG/Highway" at the end and i'm left boggled when I see them. Sorry, I can't find a video link to the hummer ones... anyone know of one? _____________________

Kinda the opposite of what we're talking about, but I gotta say I love the DaimlerChrysler Dr. Z ads.

Next thing you know, you'll be trying to convince me I don't need a 17-mile-per-gallon pick-up truck to commute 25 miles from suburbia to work, either. LOL. What will you come up with next? _____________________

Ugh, yeah. I saw some commerical where a jogger comes up to his driveway and is checking his pulse at the end of a run. His neighbor pulls in next to him and gets out of his car and is all sweaty and breathing fast and he checks his pulse.
After seeing that all I could think is... dang, I don't want that car. All I could think is that maybe its Flintstone powered. _____________________

The infomercial that cracks me up is the one for the hair trimmer that simultaneously sucks hair into it, then cuts it.
The inventor is heralded as a great innovator. However, if you saw the Wayne's World movie, you'd know the fuck blatantly plagerized the idea. And it still sucks. _____________________

You "run" heavy, complicated machines. Farmers "run" combines. Newspapers "run" presses. On the other hand, the average person uses a computer. People stopped "running" computers decades ago. The way I see it, anything that can sever a limb during normal usage is "run". No one ever lost an arm figuring out Windows.  |

Anyone remember the old epilady commercials? (yes dating myself here I know) Guess who fell for that hype and had to wrap her leg in a towel to stop the bleeding. *sigh*

True- but I have sliced my finger really deep when knocking out a back plate to a PCI slot. Does that count??  Gabe- I hope at "Tana's" funeral she's covered in bedazzler rhinestones like one of those jade covered mummies. Ugh! That womans voice just irritates me. No wonder she's a single mother! |

Those "big hucking chicken" commercials from Burger King make me want to go on a rampage in their corporate headquarters with an Uzi.

The buger king breakfast commercials .. with "the king " .. hes just , creepy Agreeing on both counts, they need to fire or just murder their advertising staff. What the hell were they thinking? _____________________

Any commercial that takes place on some sunny day , in a park with a beautiful woman jogging ... kids playing .. people laughing .. same beautiful woman laying on a beach blanket watching the waves come in .. leaning over her boyfriend to say " Dont let genital herpes ruin YOUR life .... "
*cringe* on a side note .. I personaly vote any female product commercials , anything to do with menstration , birth control or that not so fresh feeling - needs to stick to the Oxygen channel and Lifetime -mike |

I hate watching commercials although the beer ads especially Bud Light and Miller Lite are funny, other than those I change the channel.

I dislike most advertising. Sometimes though, like THIS one, I'm not sure if I love em or hate em.

The Video Professor cracks me up...I hate him but he cracks me up. You can just hear the desperation in his voice when he pleads "please try my product."
