    The Chevy commercials.
    Someone needs to kick that smarmy little bastard right in the throat.

    The nonthreatening, slightly awkward Verizon guy is more annoying.

    Verizon guy is worse. Totally strikes me as a guy who has child porn on a home PC

    But he is the creator of Piped Piper, so he probably knows how to hide it well.

    3 bullets, 1 gun.

    Verizon dude
    Chevy dude
    Jean Claude Van Damme Tostitos
    Liberty Mutual dumbass that throws his wallet in the river

    MPO: Jean Claude gets to live.

    I can't look at Van Damme's face. It looks so... plastic.

    It bugs me when they have the same commercial twice in the same break. El Pollo Loco is notorious for this.

    That's a good ad rep right there. You can damn well bet they are paying MUCHO money to have multiple spots in the same break.

    It could be worse. I won't name names, but when listening to the online editions of radio stations, I have had the same 30-second ad playing 10 times over within the same five-minute break.

    Others may have already said this, but I've had just about enough of all of the political campaign ads. I know elections are important, and I take my duty to inform myself as a voter seriously, but too much is too much.

    Of course, when this is all over in two weeks, all of that ad space is going to clear up and be swiftly filled with premature Christmas commercials. It's still a whole month before Black Friday. Let's be patient and enjoy one holiday at a time.

    I know they're annoying as hell, but those political ads give a much-needed revenue boost to broadcast media and (in much smaller amounts) print media. We'll take it!
