    I'm getting really sick, all through the baseball playoffs, between each inning, of the Sprint CEO in the black-and-white diner, puzzling over the fact that we still call them "phones."
    I'll call it a fucking ham sandwich if you promise I won't have to watch that again.

    Oh my goodness, I know. It's worth having TiVo just if I never have to see that commercial and Frank TV during the playoffs (or so I've heard. I don't have TiVo.)

    Gotta be the Saved by Zero ads from Toyota. Forget the fact that it's not creative, it takes pretty much directly from the the 80s band The Fixx. What the hell? Is that supposed to be some kind of throwback? By the time it reaches the repetitious "saved by zero" lines at the ad, I want to set a Prius on fire.

    Wait, he does that too? He usually shouts at me to buy garden utensils or detergant boost. I may have seen him pitching a beef sliders pan as well.

    How the hell did he get all these gigs? People like him?
     
  11. Don't know what the hell the ad was, but I heard Space Oddity in a commercial today. Not Bowie's version, but damn.

    I turned the channel.

    It's for Lincoln. I believe it's Cat Power's version.

    And I agree. Damn.
