    The GM/Saturn President's Day sale is annoying as hell. I hear the hip-hop version of "Hail to the Chief" and I break out in hives. And it's been on just about every commercial break of every show this week. No wonder GM is going bankrupt.
    Thank God we only have two more days of it.

    ugh. hated the 'theeeeenking of a number' guy.

    And same for the sing/song ones now. The one where the guy talks about buying a car and looking 'phat' with his 'posse'. Nice way to bring in lingo that was hip, oh, about 8-10 years ago.

    And then there's the line, 'I should have seen that coming at me like an atom bomb'. Say what? No one will ever, ever, ever be able to utter the statement 'well, I really saw that atom bomb coming right at me'. No, instead, they'll say either a) 'oh fuck' or b) 'oh shit' just prior to their vaporization. There are things you can rhyme with .com, morans.

    The level of inanity in their commercials is forcing me to dedicate most of my free time to attempting to hack into their databases, so as to put them out of business. And off the air.

    "I'm Todd Davis for Lifelock and my social security numer is 047-xxx-xxxx." The ad for lifelock is annoying. I don't wish ID theft on anyone, but if there is a God in Heaven, some hacker will get use this guy's info and run up about 80-grand in credit card debt.

    All diamond commercials. If he doesn't buy you a diamond he doesn't really love you and doesn't deserve your love in return.

    You know, if you didn't have cable you'd never have to see a commercial.

    I always find it funny when they ask "How do you make two months salary last forever?"

    What the heck is the poor guy to do for those two months. Not eat or pay the rent?

    Then again, this is from my perspective, which is as a (moderately-paid) journalist.

    If I didn't have cable, I'd probably never hear a spoken word outside of work. I need the contact.

    Tie. Two Bowflex commercials that profile two different guys.

    There's one dude who is 49 and plays in a rock band. He continues to say that he plays in a rock band yet we never hear if the band sucks or not. Get over yourself.

    The other awful one is the guy who loses weight, gets in shape and "my wife gives me that little wink every once in a while." While plugging how great Bowflex has been for him, he proceeds to diss his buddies by saying "I gave all of my fat clothes to my fat friends!" Uh, dude, why not help them lead a healthier life by doing what you did to lose all the weight! What a tool!
