ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-18-03, 05:37 PM (EST) "Son of Commercials You Hate" LAST EDITED ON 09-18-03 AT 05:49 PM (EST) Because hate can be a positive force for change, resurrecting topic. I hate the current crop of anti-drug commercials, in particular (A) The one where the man tells you he has just had to say goodbye to his best friend, in tones that appear to indicate a drunken driver was involved in friend's departure; we realize as the ad continues that Dad means his teenager now hates him, presumably because Dad thinks it necessary to go through junior's diary and tap the phones and have plain-clothes cops trail junior's little pals. The final sentence (I tell him, "If you love him, you will" ) implies that you are a lousy parent if you do not immediately adopt the gentle probing techniques of J. Edgar Hoover. (B) The one where these parents are the "youngest grandparents on the block" because their daughter smoked a joint and it somehow got her pregnant (the implication is that there is no other step to the impregnation process; smoke a little weed, have a little kid). Forget how Derelict 13-year-old-mom-to-be Daughter feels - what will the neighbors think? Bah. > (On the other hand, still love the "Love is in the Air" rabbits breeding commercial...)   Top

"RE: Son of Commercials You Hate" On the other hand, still love the "Love is in the Air" rabbits breeding commercial... i find that commercial very funny since i have two rabbits and they like to, umm..., get jiggy a lot. the commercial is so true. i also love the ebay commercials...i have the words and the dance moves down, so i join in whenever it comes on. and the budweiser "Real men of genius"(mr. giant taco salad inventor) and "Wingman" and that one where they have those guys saying stuff like 'I called shotgun eleven hours before a road trip' and 'i stayed in vegas for a weekend without a hotel room.' smiles the tvgeek both of my rabbits are male, fortunately, so we don't have the consequences of their actions...   Top

"heck yeah" those commercials bite. however, for the ignorant rich suburban people, 'what will the neighbors think' may, indeed, be an excellent motivator for actually giving a flick what their children do with their free time. additionally, the rabbits commercial makes me laugh. but i do think the concept is a bit too... adult... to be in a commercial. - *hearts* "I am Joe, and I am Canadian" commercials   Top

"RE: Son of Commercials You Hate" I would give my left nut to get rid of those "Truth" anti-smoking ads. And that's my favorite. Start Weight:339 Last Weigh-in:320 Loss To Date:-19 I am the walrus.

leannerenee 68 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 09-29-03, 02:00 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Son of Commercials You Hate" Hate that add where the car full of kids smoking weed hit that little girl on the bake after they pull out of the drive thru. I know it isn't supposed to be funny... but my roomate and I always laugh when we see it... B/c it is so FREAKING stupid!!! LOVE those commercial sw/ the gerbil and rabbit for Blockbuster!   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-29-03, 02:21 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Son of Commercials You Hate" My teenager says the pot commercials are so over the top that they take away from the credibility of anti-drug information. Ready for them to yank the whole "Can you hear me now?" series. There is also a "Look what you can do with a dollop!" chirpy lil ditty that drives me mad. And hearing the finale of the Who's Tommy in a salute to clearer nasal passages, chemically rendered, makes me very sad. >   Top

AugustGirl 11534 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-04-03, 07:58 AM (EST) 16. "Can you hear me now?" No, I can't because I either hit the mute button or change the channel as fast as I can. However, I absolutely love any and all of the Target commercials. Can't explain why, they just make me smile.   Top

ashleybfogg 2367 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 09-29-03, 04:18 PM (EST) 9. "be glad you don't have Ahhhnold...." i hate that 'dollop' jingle, too! arrgh. do they realize they are creating ads that Make Us change the channel?? some are good, some are funny, but if you're not in California right now - thank your lucky stars... we have Ahhnold - every channel, every 5 minutes - spending millions to tell us what a mess we're in, and to actually lie. I've lived here all my life and we're just fine! nothing makes me change the channel faster than those ads of his - except maybe the one with dog smacking peanut butter...yack. ashlet   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-30-03, 03:05 PM (EST) 10. "RE: be glad you don't have Ahhhnold...." No (*sighs*), I have Ahhnold. Go to OT and see me whining about the election today. And how come Total Recall is playing on autoloop on cable? I thought they had to stop showing his movies on TV or give equal time to each candidate. The worst thing about the damn Dollop commercial is I actually go around humming it. >   Top

ashleybfogg 2367 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 09-30-03, 04:32 PM (EST) 11. "RE: be glad you don't have Ahhhnold...." Don't make me think of that stupid jingle - it'll stick in my head! yeah, i thought they weren't supposed to show his movies either... maybe sombody should freeze that frame from Total Recall where he almost gets sucked into the no-atmosphere of Mars and his head gets all explodey... and use that in a campaign poster! if he does, (poor california) get elected, maybe the only movie theyll show will be his stupidest one - like they did to Reagan - all anyone showed of him after he went into politics was 'Bedtime for Bonzo' - about the monkey!   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-30-03, 04:56 PM (EST) 12. "RE: be glad you don't have Ahhhnold...." There's a (funny then) (chillingly on point now) moment in Stallone's "Demolition Man" when Sondra Bullock refers to "the Schwarzenegger Library" and explains it was named after the former president, who had to amend the constitution in order to be elected as he was not a natural citizen. This was intended, when the film was made, to be so crazy as to be funny. That was then, now is rotten. >   Top

cqvenus 9765 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-02-03, 00:17 AM (EST) 13. "OMH" remember that? maybe it's all a big ploy for the makers of that movie to gain credibility in the land of psychic prophecy. they can claim they knew arnold would be a politician far before. they can prove it with evidence. then they can rob old people of their piddly social security checks by convincing them they can predict the exact date of their demises. - sick and demented. no, really. i took sudafed. it does that to you.   Top

Draco Malfoy 10525 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-02-03, 08:43 AM (EST) 14. "RE: OMH" Kinda like how Back to the Future Part 2 predicted that the Florida Marlins would win the World Series a few years back. Whoops. Start Weight:339 Last Weigh-in:320 Loss To Date:-19   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-02-03, 05:18 PM (EST) 15. "RE: OMH" There used to be a theory that if your brand name were put in a futuristic movie it went belly-up the next year. Would that this were so. Back to the commercials, because a post of Kim's reminded me, I hate those cute lil bears crapping in the woods (Charmin, I think). Do not need to think about bodily functions of cartoon bears to this degree. Ever. >   Top

AugustGirl 11534 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-04-03, 07:39 PM (EST) 17. "Fitness Made Simple" It's not so much the commercial, it's the host. That guy John Basedow is just plain freaky looking. And now they are running a newer version where he has become blonde. Scary. Very scary!   Top
