Does anyone actually get discouraged from buying because of stupid local commercials?

This clown obviously has some sychphants who tell him he's funny, when he's not. I won't buy a Hyundai simply out of spite to that company for allowing such a tool-bag to have a dealership.

lol yes that's the guy... the commercials are so incredibly annoying... then one day I actually listened for what dealer he was advertising for. Didn't know it was his own.

from fitness guru tony little

we had it professionally installed in the living room
in front of the tv so i could watch reruns of 'charmed'
i think it wuz working well
i could rly 'feel the burn' in my hips butt thighs and calves
but 1 day i tried 2 do an advanced maneuver called the turbo thrust
from the instruction manual

but i must have been going 2 fast bcuz the machine became unstable
and started ricocheting left and right
i tried 2 slow it down but as hard as i tried i could not stop thrusting
so i took 1 foot off of it but the foot part hit me in the shin and
the next thing i know i am tangled up in 'the gazzel' trying 2 gain my balance
but i panicked and did a summersault fall rite over the handlebars and in2
our entertainment center
the tv did not brake (thank god) but all the dvds came off the shelves
and the cable box/vcr fell in the space behind it which was VERY difficult 2 recover
i only got 1 bruise on my shin from where the metal part hit me
but i am still troubled by it emotionally

We had the gazzel to. Niothing wrong with it but after awhile it just sat and collected dust, so now my mother inlaw uses it. Your story was cracking me up LOL

It's really just cablevision's idea of composing an econo-mercial, and letting the business owner get thirty seconds of fame for
themselves while people like you and I, have to search for the remote.
