    I encourage everyone to follow the Babar Rule: Any company that airs a fucking Christmas commercial before Thanksgiving week doesn't get a goddamn penny from me for the next year.

    Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Target have already made the shit list this year. And that's going to be tough, because I normally do a lot of shopping at Target.

    I can't think of any store that would wait until after Thanksgiving to air a Christmas commercial. Heck, we're already running some print ads at my shop.

    Aww, poor new papa's getting picked on...

    Anyway ... the Nuvaring commercial drives me nuts. I get "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, everyday" stuck in my head every time i hear it. Grr.

    Arby's new one sucks giant donkey balls.

    And so does Nuvaring. Dang it, Ducky! Now i've got that song stuck in my head.

    All right, I've got another contender to trot out here...

    The Planter's cashews ad with that hideously fugly woman who attracts all the men because she smears cashew dust on her like perfume. I know that's the idea, but Christ privy, I want to throw up every time I see her put the cashew down her neckline.

    And the part at the end where she pulls the wedgie out of her crack? Well... I'll pause now while you all visit your local porcelain fixture.

    The new Dell one is at automatic mute status. It seems to come on at every break, no matter what channel.

    The next time I meet somebody named Jared, I'll punch him in the nads because of those "He went to Jared. He went to Jared!?! He went to Jared!" spots that run every fucking break in football games this time of the year.
