    I've been getting a lot of Clorox cleaning ads during my online TV viewing.

    The tagline is something to the effect of Because the cleaner their world, the healthier the child is.

    Wrong. Disinfecting every freaking thing, not letting them get dirty, etc., is the reason there is so much asthma and the like. They have to build up their immune systems and by depleting the germs to do that, they will be sicker in the long run.

    Not that you shouldn't clean, but damn, people have gone overboard with this stuff.

    The ad -- I think it's for Taco Bell, but I'm not sure because I only watched the thing once and have changed the channel every time I've seen the first two seconds of it since -- where the two adult business men are being pushed in strollers and start crying like babies for some reason.

    You've failed as an advertising agent when your commercial makes me immediately mute the television and change the channel.

    Darius Rucker's Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch ad was inspired as well.

    Not a fan of the BK minstrel ad. Now the Snickers ad with Green Sleeves in it is great.

    My new hated line of commercials: The VW ads about pregnant women. They were funny at first, but now they're just stupid.

    I swear this stupid "Saved by Zero" Toyota ad is on approximately every 2 minutes during this Cowboys game. I've heard that thing at least 15 times today.

    I want to sell my Toyota and buy some POS American ride in protest.

    It's Jack in the Box. And I actually think that one's kind of funny.......

    Damn skippy she is. I think those ads are pretty clever, turning the minivan stigma on its head.

    Without a doubt it's this one:

    Cash4Gold:


    Each of the testimonials from the three women are annoying in their own special ways.

    • The straight-up-the-nostrils angle on the head-bobbing woman holding her check.
    • The old woman on the golf course (or retirement community) and her high-pitched, nasal, voice.
    • The woman hocking her wedding ring from her first "mearrridge."

    Without a fucking doubt. The last woman makes me want to through a brick through the tv.

    I hate those, too. Cash 4 Gold ( or its ad agency) is obviously based in New Jersey.
    That last woman sounds like the less-talented sister of Janice from Friends.
