    What you're saying is that you have a problem with the Johnnie Cochran Law Firm?
    The only problem I have with them is that they're apparently the only advertiser the Braves could round up to sponsor their CSS broadcasts.... because they're in my head, too. :)

    Those Taco Bell commercials really annoy me.... first off, the "Volcano Burrito" where all the groomsmen are red-faced after eating the burrito - and the solution is a rainbow headband? Makes absolutely no sense.
    And the one that has been running the past couple days with the guy raiding the take-a-penny trays for the 89 cent burrito really fries me. I'd kick that guy's ass if he tried that in a store I was running.

    Well, let's throw in their other one with that horrid Pina Colada song and there's a triumverate of marketing fail.

    No, you're not a PC, and I don't care how old you are. You're a carbon-based Earthling subject to deterioration and decay just like everyone else, and you are entering a world of pain.

    Those don't annoy me. Those ads are inspired

    They annoyed me when they first came out and each new one still annoys me - the Geico commercials with the money and "Somebody's Watching Me". They suck worse on the radio than they do on TV.

    I agree, but I do like the ones with the gecko and the old guy.

    They suck royally. But the newest one, with the guy in the coffee shop who takes the cover from the donuts and covers up the money pile, is kinda funny. The music is muffled when he covers it up, then he keeps lifting the cover to make it louder. HA! And the guy looks really familiar to me. Anyone?

    I have only seen the commercial for the Nissan Cube twice. I would love nothing better to smack each one of those kids or to watch them get violently car-jacked.

    Just saw one of those and I wanted to put my controller through the TV set.

    "This computer is so sexy."

    No, it's not, pal.

    It's a fucking computer.

    I'd have to go with the Capital One college baseball commercials.

    Dear Southwest Airlines,
    Everyone now knows that "it's on." Please don't bother us anymore until it's off again.

    Thank you,
    FishHack76.
