    I'll tell you what's really starting to piss me off, because it's happening more and more often: Running the exact same commercial two, even three times in a row. How many people have to be asleep at the switch for that to happen? Or do they think they're doing the advertiser a favor by doing this?

    Comedy Central is a particularly blatant offender with this.

    Could be your cable provider.

    You should call the local newspaper to complain...

    Suddenly every car company has its own version of an inattentive dipshit behind the wheel getting bailed out by some whiz-bang safety feature at the last nanosecond. The tee-tiny disclaimer at the bottom of the screen does not make it cool either.

    I'd pay good money to see annoying commercials. I get a steady stream of AFN public service announcements. Oh, and the daily weather and fuel prices for Europe ... in Central America.

    I find myself morbidly drawn to them. I tend to forget what I'm watching and think, what the heck ... then remember it's AFN.

    I now know that all children must be registered to ride school buses in Germany, and carry a pass.

    The laundry commercial with the yoga pants that smell so bad the cheap stuff won't eliminate the odor I think is missing the real problem. She either isn't washing her pants regularly or she has a problem a Tide pod can't fix.

    WTF is up with the Pizza Hut commercial with the alien doing all the talking? And the swarthy looking dude just standing there nodding the whole time?

    To revisit an old hate: It seems the stupid chips commercials are getting even more ridiculous. Now the bag has chips sticking out of the fucking top, like it would be impossible to close.

    Of course, my and your bags of chips are three-quarters air.
