    When I get my statement and there's a buncha Steelers merchandise on it, we'll know for sure ;)

    How about any bowflex, flexflex or any other exercise commercial done by rippling-body neanderthals who think you'll buy into the notion that they got THAT body by working out on this horseshit machine?

    You make sense to a point, but what if the guy making the call has a satellite dish instead of cable?

    All the assorted jewelry ads strongly insinuating that any of us who fail to spend as last ten thousand dollars on a ring or necklace clearly don't love the woman we're with are pretty irritating.

    I second the thoughts on those absurd Lexus ads. They've aggravated me for years. My fiancee's in agreement on this - aside from the financial aspect of it, cars are a personal thing. I know she'd like a BMW one day, but there's no way in hell I'd just buy one and park it in our driveway (with obligatory big red bow) and say "Surprise!" even if I could do it financially.

    Just as bad as the expensive car ads are the ads where the couple live in this big-ass mansion with a bathroom bigger than our apartment.

    Along those lines, how about those fucking assholes bragging about saving $25,000 on the cost of their remodeled kitchen by only paying half?

    Bastards.

    crazyfox, redfox, gold kit, time shares, the chunky, redheaded lady ... just stop, OK? Just stop. Say what you mean:

    "We're here to rip off the dumbest, most desperate motherfuckers in America, and we're proud of it!"

    It's almost 2008, folks. How is it there's still people who honestly believe they can make hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars working from home? If this vague nonsense actually worked like it says it does, wouldn't there be large swaths of the population taking advantage of it?

    For whatever reason I passed right over the "car" in the post. When I read the response I thought "No, Erica Shaffer is the brunette in the Mercury ads." Mercury Insurance [and a slew of other television ads as well].

    That blonde bitch in crazyfox is a Leona Helmsley wannabe.

    The Foundation For A Better Life - Gay...pass it on

    Anything by McDonald's - Funny, I don't see many fashion forward peppy young people digging into double quarter-pounders and large fries. Fat women in sweatpants and Tweety Bird t-shirts, yes. Peppy young people, no.

    Any car commercial - I've been driving almost ten years now. Haven't had due cause to drive to the top of a mountain. Haven't sped through empty, misty city streets at midnight. Haven't sped across the desert. Don't plan to.

    Cialis - Let me get this straight...you and the missus can lug two porcelain bathtubs to the peak of a friggin' hilltop, but you can't get an erection?

    Anything with kids - Because I hate them.

    Sonic - Everyone involved in those commercials should get buttfucked by a syphilitic boar.

    eHarmony - "These are not actors...just morons."

    ABC - "On a very special 'Grey's Anatomy'...Oh, you mean the episode where people engage in hackneyed dialogue before having unrealistic casual sex witout any complications whatsoever? You mean that episode?

    You do realize, that before Oct. 1, 2007, TBS could be picked up on rabbit ears?
