    I laughed pretty damn hard when I saw this yesterday.

    Anti-smoking ads in general are pretty damn obnoxious, but this one and a similar one have been running a lot lately and getting under my skin. It tries to equate standard marketing practices (advertising in black neighborhoods to sell more cigarettes there) to racial profiling.
    Marketing folks can be soulless and slimy, but "profiling" is kind of what they do -- to everybody.

    Chevy commercials somehow manage to be even shittier than Chevy vehicles.

    The Verizon mic drop commercial.

    I find it almost irrationally irritating.

    I don't know how I feel about the Ferris Bueller knockoff Dominos commercials.

    Fuck Big Moe Cason, the gap-toothed, bib-overalled dipshit hawking Little Ceasar's latest shit-on-cardboard concoction.

    The pizza isn't that bad. Buddy bought one last week and I had a couple of slices. It could be worse, I guess.

    I'm torn between actually really liking how the kid acts like Ferris Bueller and not happy they are using a knockoff to peddle nostalgia.

    That's the first commercial ever where I got sick and tired of it before the first viewing of said commercial even ended.

    Call me skeptical, but I don't think Exxon's oil rigs in the Gulf are heavily populated with amazingly photogenic engineers and techs.
