Bad commercials

Nathan:
I haven't hit the website for a while so forgive me if these are old news but there are currently two more commercials on the air that really make me want to run out screaming in the night.

1) Charmin Bathroom Tissue: This is one where an older bear is lecturing, in song no less, a younger bear about not using too much toilet tissue. As bad and corny as that is, it proceeds to show the younger bear hunker down and lean against a tree, tissue in hand, apparently to take a dump. Answers the old question though.

2) Cinamon Toast Crunch Cereal: Husband and wife at breakfast table. He is doing a (bad) Barry White imitation, extoling the virtues of the cereal. It goes on and on. Shows the wife eating. Eventually we get to hear my favorite anachronism . . . the record needle scratch, whereupon the wife tells the husband to "Zip It". Rude, stupid, tasteless and IRRITATING.

Dishonorable mention.
Tampax Pearl Tampons: Girl uses tampon to plug hole in bottom of leaky canoe. AARRRrrrGGGHhhhhh. Makes it even worse if you think of the "little boat" analogy. . . They couldn't have done that intentionally, could they? Naaaaaa

I'd say, keep on plugging, but somewhow that now seems kind of crude.

so,
Best Regards,

I am telling you about a commerciall that bugs me, its that one for Coca-Cola with the penguins anf the polar bears. Some people might like it but i sure don't. It comes on way way to much(saw it 3 times in 10 mins)and polar bears and pemguins live on differnet ends fo the earth. It bothers me that they had the nerve to do that. Antarctica emans (nobear) not bear thats the arctics perpose. Don't think im nuts cause im not, i jus study like everyone else.

This is my second time writing a comment on this website and i want to say that this is an awsome website. Personally i hate commercails they take away time for the show itself. There is know a new commercial that came out and it is soooo anoying tis feels like my head will burst with the anger, anyways back to this commercial tis for much music( no offence to MM) but that commmercail smells worse than the horse crap i pick up doing my chores, with a little hint of what i barfed up last week.
This commercail is the one were tose two dorky guys are trying to make a love song for there so called(girlfriends) you can understand me if i say imaginary girlfrinds and then one of the guys gets hit in the ass with an arrow, he's bleeding and al that shit and then a girl comes in with a bloody crossbow. The guy passes over the arrow from his but makes the dumb girl beleive that the blood on his hand was from playing on the drums all day(legally blond if you tell me)and they tell her that they were making a love song for their girlfirends and then she says "i love music'. They end up singing this shity ass song. If you ask me after all these years mm is losing there touch.

I HATE the needle on the record scratch. It sucks. Whats worse is when all of a sudden you hear a dozen copy-cat commercials. Arent there any original thinkers out there any more? People notice this crap.
