    Soooo, it's an ad for boneless "wings"...nothing that B-Dubs or any other chicken place hasn't been lying about for eons.
    Is that supposed to be like a rip off of Iron Man 2? Wow, that's bad.

    I've always wondered what Canadian thought Boston was some kind of epic pizza town.

    I'm sure its been mentioned before, but the J.D. Wentworth ads in general make me nauseous, and the one with the babies in the nursery is just awesomely bad.

    Dixiehack, Boston IS an awesome pizza town. If you're ever up our way, try Santarpio's in East Boston, right near the airport. But even my whitebread suburb has an excellent joint of the Greek immigrant operation variety.

    The Scott's lawn fertilizer "Feed It!" guy is going to turn me against Major League Baseball before April is even over ...

    The Scott's guy is even more irritating in its radio commercials than on TV.

    I know I'll be in the minority here, but that Zooey Siri commercial is annoying. YOU'RE LOOKING OUTSIDE. IT IS FUCKING RAINING. Why do you need Siri to confirm this for you?

    Maybe not. That commercial annoys the hell out of me, too, for two main reasons:

    1. If someone gave me some 4G gizmo that was programmed to nag me about the pitiful trivia of my life, I think I'd jump in front of a train. It's bad enough that I talk to the dogs during the daytime. At least they're living beings. Who would want to buy/use this horrible product?

    2. Zooey, you're still an amazingly good-looking actress. And you're forced to make commercials? Please, leave that to Joan Rivers.

    Siri is useful in spots ... like when you're driving and you need to find a phone number, or you want to change your music on the fly. But I can't say I've ever found myself just walking around the house talking to the phone like it's an actual human being as has been portrayed in these ads.
