    5-Hour Energy ... do contemporary men in the office really wear shirts and ties in such vibrant colors? Seriously, the guy in yellow is burning out the screen on my TV.

    I love of the songs they're doing though. Queen? The theme from Rocky? Push It? Awesome. it's like they've tapped into my iPod.

    It's because you are in the target demographic. Congrats, people want your money!

    I'm torn. The commercials are at least clever in how they target the back to school group and it is kind of cool to listen to the songs, but I don't know how I feel listening to a recorder the whole time.

    Too bad I have no money to give. And hopefully their target demographic is someone who actually has children. :p

    Apparently I hate America, because I think the camel as is dumb.

    no, the camel is dumb. Some people are just irrationally in love with idiotic things.

    Everyoneon.org's spots are so stupid.

    Dear new bride in Midas commercial:

    You seriously haven't been in your husband's beater of a car until after your nuptials? Fuck you then for not knowing what a shitty selector of cars he has. Go ahead whore...leave him because of THIS.

    They need to do one Flo commercial where she is done up like a stone-cold smokin'-hot fox. Black fishnets, lingerie, the whole deal.

    Some kind of dream-sequence thing where you can't really tell whether scorching-hot-sexy Flo or the frumpy teevee insurance girl is the real person and which is dreaming the whole thing.

    Yet another album track in my collection ripped off for a commercial. This time, Funkadelic's Can You Get To That is sampled for an Apple iPhone 5 ad. The original has one of my favorite lyrics.

    "When you base your love on credit
    And your loving days are done
    Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
    Later come back signed 'insufficient funds'
    Yeah, get to that!"

    One of my favorite songs. Fuck off Apple.

    Buffalo Wild Wings.

    This bizarre, coach-like character barking about how people eat their wings.

    Also, what kind of shrewy, wet blanket girlfriend throws a stink if her man is "mixing sauces" while he eats his wings? Nag him about chicken wings? That is a formula to be single and surrounded by cats within 15 years.
