Which commercial do you hate the most? |
|
My new nomination is a Super America commercial.
For $14.99, you can get for your kids a plastic mock-up truck that holds model cars (like how the big trucks move real cars to dealers). This truck comes with, you guessed it, two HUMMERS.
I can't stand those wasteful !&@^#%$ing hummers!
Even the name "Hummer" is the lewdest joke I've ever heard. We consumers are now to think that a hummer is no longer *THAT* but is now the name of a vehicle which guzzles petroleum products as if there's an endless supply at a constant, fair cost! (man, you could just imagine how much fun I'd otherwise have in saying all this... oh well.)
Which advert do you hate the most these days? (isn't watching TV grand, and I'm far more addicted to TV than I thought. I can't give up watching it, ugh!)

Look at the actions of the people in those commercials once. Kid cheats to win soap box derby. Various other forms of cutthroating.

but the hummer is, in my opinion the zenith of conspicuous materialism. Think of all the raw materials extracted from the earth that it takes to put a car together; steel, glass, plastic, rubber, etc., and then multiply that by 2, and you have a hummer! Adding insult, the tax incentive for vehicles over 3 tons, and you have the perfect icon of the materialist capitalist movement.

3. I feel sorry for the male owners of Hummers |
|
It's obvious that they're buying those disgusting things just to compenate for their tiny penises. There's really no other explanation for them (particularly in big cities...like my home, Chicago)

4. All of them.................. |
|
they must think we're all mindless morons. Well, they work on Republicans so I guess they're reaching some of their intended audience.

The only complaint I have is that I can only handle one every hour.

I'm just relieved there are only 24 hours in a day.

10. Any commercial where it is implied that a woman would have sex with... |
|
a bear (Labat Blue), a snowman, a dog, a chimp, a fat redneck guy, etc. It makes me sick! The women in these commercials should be ashamed of themselves. The money, fame, and people in Hollywood are not fucking worth it!

11. I hate all car/SUV commercials |
|
Buy this SUV and you'll finally be free to enjoy the beautiful pristine wilderness. Whatever. You'll be stuck in a traffic jam breathing exhaust fumes and working overtime to pay for your stupid expensive new car.

12. the latest annoyance is for Glad Wrap or some such crap |
|
with that actress that is on the new sitcom with John Laroquett (spp) and Christine Baransky-- the one that plays their daughter with that obnoxious squeaky/whiny voice!
God, I thought the local car dealer commercials were the most annoying, but no!

14. Three spring to mind: |
|
1.) All Old Navy commercials but particularly the new Fran Drescher/ construction worker one which is on the verge of driving me to injure myself.
2.) "Momma's got the magic of Clorox Bleach!" Christ on a pogo stick, it's 2003. Daddy can get in on the magic too.
3.) The new BMW commercial with the four guardian angels escorting the SUV around- not only does it assume things about my religion, it doesn't even make any bloody sense. Why would I want to buy an off-road vehicle that requires not 1 but 4 guardian angels just to drive on a fairly normal looking paved road?

Where Mommy is showing the little kid in the back the DVD screen, smooth ride, etc. When they get home, Daddy opens the hood, showing Junior the giant motor inside.
Dad: Can you say "Hemi?" Kid: Hami!
Grrrrrr. He's probably trying to keep Junior from becoming, well, you know. I like to think of a possible continuation of the conversation:
Dad: Can you say "Iraqi oil?" Kid: Racky oyo! Dad: Can you say "Bush is my president?" Kid: Bushaza resident!

I love the way they straddle the issue..."It may not be perfect"....Yeah, right. Not even close. These kind of issue commercials are so slanted and dumb. I loathe them. The actors are phony. The words are insulting.
