| 2. The drug commercials make me ill! |
|
Their message seems to be that whatever is wrong with you, a little pill will solve it....wasn't this the attitude that gave rise to the illegal drug culture of the 60s?

I want to see Ned the Loan Officer say "Lost another loan to DiTech!" - just before he steps off of the footstool and into the noose. THAT'd be a great way to end the DiTech series of commercials!

I have to mute the TV every time it comes on. The thing is, I'd like to know about some of the governmental programs, but I hate the commercial so much, I can't bear to give that guy money.

Remember the obnoxious senior citizens in the anti-Dean ad? I know they were just actors, but I wanted to kick out the TV screen every time I saw them. Really, I think the Club for Growth is demonic.

I hate commercials!
They prefer to show body parts instead of products.
They lack specifics.
Only glitz and false promises of living better with them.

| 22. I don't have any of them, ever. Why do I want to have 4 of them? |
|
I'm a guy.
I take zoloft.
My sex drive is nullified by it, so when my people anxiety clears up, there's no bloody point in chatting people up because I could care less about getting into a relationship with them... Odd thing, these drugs... :shrug:
Hmmm, maybe it would help? :-)

They should change their name to 'Bank from Hell'. They wouldn't know what the phrase 'customer service' meant, if it bit them in the arse.

| 27. Here in California there are new obnoxious Carl's Jr. commercials |
|
They feature either a man or a woman stuffing fistfuls of straws in their mouths, and one with a woman stuffing her fist in her mouth.
All to advertise their newest big hamburger.
They make me want to retch, which I wouldn't think is the reaction they're looking for from these commercials.l

They always show that smiling face "slashing prices." I always envision him slashing pay, slashing benefits, slashing opportunities for community businesses, ect.

On those rare occasions when I see a tv on, commercials seem invariably disgusting and seductive. I never fully appreciated all the garbage that I was letting into my head. On the other hand, I really, really miss the Daily Show, and the web videos won't play on my pooter.

Not the funny ones with the Gecko, but those stupid ones where they have some disaster scenario or some tragedy going on then somebody says "but there's good news, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico". Yeah, an entire village has been wiped out by a volcano and I give a $hit about you saving 15% on your car insurance :mad:

and never have to watch them... My trusty PVR records everything and then I watch at my leisure.. I can zip through a movie at warp speed..and a 30 minute show only takes me 14 minutes or so.,.:)
I must admit, ocasionally a twisted , evil one catches my eye and strikes me funny, but the ones that are head-on "buy this crap" turn me OFF...
