Advertisements

I see these commercials constantly and it's annoying.
The product they are advertising is all out fraud or exaggerated.

Mine? the mascara commercials.

They all claim to make your lashes longer and fuller lmao -- yet the models are actually wearing false eyelashes and then coated w/mascara.

well hell hahaha all us women can have that look too -- just buy false eyelashes and then get CHEAP mascara -- same effect.

the commercials they have for genital herpes and viagra.

i use to think it was weird to have the commercial be so exaggerated, but now i giggle a little and think it's a good marketing strategy.

I agree with the Activia commercials too....they are on too often and are far too "regular".....ROFL...... .

My new commercial peeve is the Volkswagen commercial that shows the kids at the birthday party, and the kid is whacking the pinata that just won't break. Ugh.

One of my peeves is that lots of commercials are way too loud, especially during late night programming. I thought there were laws preventing that. I have Comcast - could it be unique to them?

I hate it too......apparently the "volume" of TV shows and commercials is based on the loudest possible playback....like an explosion. So when "they" ramp up commercials it is still within and under this high range.

there's supposedly a toshiba tv that solves this problem. it's called the toshiba regza with dolby. i don't know if it works as stated or just marketing hype. it came out in 2009 i think? if anyone has one, please share the 411.

anyway i hate that car commercial where some blues singer sings in a slow voice 'oh yeah this is powerful stuff' showing some dwebe at his high school reunion

That Ford swap your ride commercial. Mike Rowe is the most irritating guy on tv, and the commercials are stupid and played all the time. Can't hit MUTE fast enough.

I think it is a commercial for a cruise line that uses "FUNNER" as a word. Well, "funner" is not a word.
It is the dumb person's way of saying "more fun".

I don't that one either! Perhaps I feel so strongly about it because I don't like pinatas and think they don't belong at a child's party.
