Jewelry ads.

Every time I have the misfortune of seeing one of those stupid things, I'm reminded of the Family Guy spoof.

Anything that is advertised but not avaliable where you live example: Sonic in New England.

Any ad for a car that claims an impressive 25+ mpg- My 1984 Jetta got 32 mpg, with 200k miles on it.

I so agree with this. My wife and I love Sonic. When we hit the road we always stop at one. BUT there are none in Maryland.

Whats next? Maybe they'll torture me with Wattaburger commercials.

Coors ads talking about cold activated bottles. Ok maybe I'd buy these beers if I lost the feeling in my hands and couldn't feel the bottle myself to tell if its cold. I buy beer for the beer not the bottle it comes in.

I have yet to see an ad for Longtrail Doublebag  [drink]

Hey now.  There are a lot of people who have suffered moderate frostbite.  Coors is trying to be accomodating to this segment of the disabled population.  ;D

There are also a lot of immigrants in this country now that may not know that American beer is supposed to be served cold.

Of course, there is the larger section of American population that, through socialization, has lost all ability to do anything on their own. 
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

What about if you are blind and can't see that the label changed color? Coors is discriminating against the blind.

we finally got a sonic within 30 miles, i don't like thier commercials for a diff reason now. because they are just plain annoying.

mcdonald's commercials need to end. all of them, in any form. especially tyhe new ones abotu the stupid chicken breakfast sandwich. good grief those ads make me want to firebomb mcdonald's everywhere. it's a make the beast with two backsing biscuit with chicken in it, IT'S NOT LIFE CHANGING AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREEDOM YOU make the beast with two backsING RETARDS!

any beer commercial that paints guys as willing to do anything for a beer. the bud light ones are funny occasionally, the coors ones are jsut stupid (if you have to put some gimmick on the can/bottle to sell it then change your dam recipe and make good beer) miller lite stopped that stupid "man law" series so they won't be anger inducing until football season gets closer and they pull out another one.

there's one for the spca or peta or something that shows all the animals lookign sad or injured and has sarah mclaughlin speaking. that ad just annoys the shit out of me. mainly becauise a lot of the people that see it go "awwww, poor puppy/kitty/ferret/cute cuddly animal...why would people do that?!"  ya know what..shut the make the beast with two backs up. if you are so moved then go out and rescue the animals and take care of them. and don't ask me for help because your heart won't stop bleeding. complain about somethign that you are willing to change, if you aren't willing to affect a change then piss off.

all the ads that try to make us believe that in order to make our female SOs love us more we have to buy them shiny things and if we don't then we will be ridiculed.

too abd i'm at work, i'm gettign fired up now and starting to rant. my stupid phone keeps ringing making me work though  >:(

I f'in hate the Apple commercials with the two douchebags talking about their dumbass computers.  Pisses me off!!!! 

Those two idiots make me want to punch babies.

Panera radio spots...

I don't really give a shit about what others peoples problems are.  An overpriced, poor excuse of a sandwich is not going to solve them.

I also despise any feminine parts related commercial: pads/'pons/tests.

Enough. I don't want to see a stream of piss hit a wand on tv ever again. Nor do i need to see examples of coverage and absorption.


These are facts of life my friend. You think watching the commercials is bad, try actually having a vagina.

You think we like seeing the never ending array of viagra, cialis, and prostate commercials?

I saw a local funeral home spot, that actually mentioned the high cost of fuel as a reason to use them as your final needs source.   [laugh]

What about the new ad for, umm, i don't remember the product name, but they always say it's "guaranteed to enhance that certain part of the male body."  Since they never actually say "penis", how is one to know they aren't talking about, say, the Adam's Apple?
