    I'm surprised at the lack of outrage in the blogosphere about this commercial's inherit theme: That raping the environment, by erecting view-destroying towers all across the American landscape, makes T-Mobile a great company that you should support.

    OK, as if that Samsung commercial with the "don't watch my slutty Samsung video on the plane" couple wasn't enough ...

    Now Santa and Mrs. Claus are exchanging slutty videos by touching their phones together.

    Yuck.

    I hate the commercial for (I think) Famous Footwear with the kids whining about how their parents DON'T GET THEM and NEVER WILL and then start screeching over shoes she got them.

    My god, shut up.

    There's a Ford Fusion commercial where the guy drives it off a cliff. Is that really the best visual? Wanting to drive your car off a cliff usually isn't a good sign.

    The ad for a jewelry store, I believe - probably Kay, but who really cares?

    Dad accompanies son, son dressed as Santa, to see Mom in the living room. "Mom, uh, I mean, Mrs. Nelson, I have the perfect gift for you!" Son hands a jewelry box to Mom. Mom opens said box to reveal some sort of cheesy looking charm bracelet or something.

    Mom turns to look at Dad, then blurts out an orgasmic "Oooh, Saaanta!!". Kid grabs cookies from the Santa plate & quickly averts his attention as Mom & Dad begin their foreplay next to the tree.

    Yeah, Suzy Favor Nelson, did you forget that your 7 year old just handed you that thing? From the unrealistic setup to the overly precocious kid to the over-reaction to the gift, just an irritating viewing all around.

    Touching phones is just weird anyway. I don't want my phone getting your phone's diseases.

    What about Slash driving a classic Ford Mustang off a cliff before the guitar solo in "Don't Cry"? Pretty bad ass to me.

    Has the Bacardi "Whoever said history was supposed to be boring" commercial been mentioned?

    I can't quite explain it, but it's the worst.

    Pretty much done with the NFL spot where the "nerdy" girl gets "cool" by watching NFL mobile.

    1) Adding glasses and putting her hair up and sitting her next to a cat? I think that joke was done in that Freddy Prince movie 15 years ago
    2) How the F#%& does she end up at a party with Drew Brees? Yeah...that happens ALL the time!

    Now if they had an ad where someone slaps latex on their phone before injecting a dirty data stream into someone else's phone ... THAT would be a great commercial!
