Some candy bar, I think, has rubberized sharks all sitting at a kind of board meeting with a chubby lady standing, talking to them.

I shut the sound off of commercials. They interfere with the continuity of the show, but I do appreciate commercials when I need a bathroom break or have to get up to get the tea.

This is a local ad so mercifully the majority of you won't have to see it. The ad is for a local furniture company called "Parker Furniture" the owners being the Parker family.

The commercial shows rooms with furniture and a voice-over describing them. No problem there, but at the end they show two men sitting on the couch with a little boy of about seven sitting between him.

The men say something and then the kid shouts out in a very high pitched, annoying voice "PAWKEAW FAW-NUCH-AW!"

He is supposed to be saying "Parker Furniture" but he comes out sounding like Elmer Fudd. I can imagine the teasing this kid must get or will get by his classmates.

I mean, come on parents of this child, send him to speech therapy but don't have him talk on TV. It isn't cute.

After someone mentioned that annoying pig commercial - the one on that aerial contraption with the guy riding on the next wire over the snow covered land - I find it surreal, like something out of a King novel. It is shown in filtered dark light and you expect the pig to sport fangs at some point and take a huge chunk out of the guy.

Stupid commercial.

vibrators, sexual lubricants and condoms for Christmas sickened me. I'm sure Jesus would be happy

I love Maxwell, he's the little piggy who went wee, wee, wee all the way home.

Those Febreeze commercials where they allegedly blind fold a person and make them sniff inside a hoarder's kitchen or the burnt out shell of a former crack house.

Not sure if this is a local ad or national, but it' a black screen with white block letters that say something like a very rich man who has made Nostradamus like predictions in the past that have come true has an earth shattering prediction for 2011. Just go to this website and check. Ummm yeah 2011 was two weeks ago. Time to update that.

No doubt, I agree with shooting the members of the Advertising Dept or at least the moron that keeps approving the screaming pig. One thing is for certain, as long as Geicko continues to sport that annoying pig, they pretty much guarantee I will never do business with them.
