    No hate, just pathetic. Radio ad for University of Toledo with students listing reasons to attend. Then one girl trying to cop an attitude busts out with "Because we're WNIT champs, baby!"

    Still giggling.

    OMG. That ranks right above "Because they don't kick me in the babymaker when I walk on campus" as a great reason to attend a school.

    The UT ad runs nationwide? I thought only us Ohioans got subjected to that.

    Interesting story to the Enterprise ad with all the former athletes that now work there. The one girl with mid-length brown hair and sort of an Asian look is a Indiana grad. Never played sports and is now an assistant to Will Smith. We have a reporter that knows her and went to IU a few years before her. She's a paid actor...not an Enterprise employee. Note, she is also the only one NOT to show a pic of herself in the ad while she was in college. Funny that they push one aspect on you while bold-faced lying. haha

    The guy on the Subway commercial crooning about how much he loves pepperoni ... that guy gots to go. Love Subway, but that commercial makes me want to be deaf. And those two idiots sitting there holding footlong subs in the wrapper -- as if a sandwich loaded with marinara sauce can be held and eaten that way -- get on my nerves too.
     
  7. At this point, any Sofia Vergara commercial.

    OK, when the doctor is explaining the side effects of Abilify to the woman with depression ... why is the depression taking notes, too?

    Things like this give me pause.

    The Chase Bank one where the mom takes a picture of her check, shows her daughter how it's done...then freaks her kid out by taking a picture of a lion.

    The kid is so mis-cast, she must be the daughter of Chase's VP for Marketing; her reaction is terrible.

    Tough crowd, I know, but c'mon-- don't let the lion steal the scene!

    OK, there are two new ones that I can't even allow to show when someone else is watching my TV:

    The stupid new Geico commercial where the moron is having a taste test with two cups of cherry Kool-Aid. What fucking moron wrote this shit?

    The other one I don't even know what they're shilling.

    A surgeon has his hands poking a guy's brain, making him key up shit on his laptop. We're supposed to believe the surgeon is touching different parts of the brain, making the guy do all sorts of shit, even high-five the doctor.

    Can it actually be possible to make money coming up with this shit?

    Testify, sister. Boston Pizza's ads are as bad as the food. Fuck you bastards for taking the Desperado pizza off the menu.
