Nathan,
Your website is inspired. I'm so glad I found it. It was
mentiioned in an article in the Salt Lake Tribune. Very entertaining.
The things that irritate you also irritate me.
Not having "tuned in" before, I don't know if the production
technique featuring a "record scratch" has been mentioned as an
irritation. As an indication of Whoa! Back Up! Hold On Here! the
sound effect of a record getting the hell scratched out of it is a
regular feature in numerous commercials. What are they thinking? Viewers
under the age of 35 or so most likely have never heard a record
scratch in any context other than Rap "music". A lot of kids have
never seen a vinyl LP, thinking music always came on CDs. It is a
complete anachronism making very little sense and to those of us
still possessing a cherished LP collection it makes us want to run
out screaming in the night. It would make as much sense and be no
more irritating to use the old tried and true fingernails-on-a-blackboard.
Regards,
Randy Kimball

Enzyte "Natural Male Enhancement"
My current pet peeve is the grinning geek "Bob" on the Enzyte "Natural Male Enhancement" commercial. If i saw a man grinning like that, I would assume he'd just escaped from the local loony bin. -- Linda J. Hall, Taylorsville, UT

This is the best site I've seen in a long time. I got the link, by the by, from a story in today's Salt Lake Tribune (not that I am anywhere near Salt Lake City).
I don't even watch television. I don't even own a television. I just get my thrills vicariously from my sister, a television fiend, and now, you. (I don't think TV is bad or anything; I just don't watch it.)
But awful commercials are everywhere. I listen to a news station (WTOP in Washington, DC) daily. I will never, never, never, never donate a car to Melwood, whoever they are. I am sick to death of their commercials where they read a heartwarming letter about some mentally ill relative, ending with "Thank you, Melwood." Then in the next segment, the announcer ALWAYS says "Letters like these mean the world to us." And then something to the effect of "But we really want you to donate money or tangible goods." So keep your crummy sentiments. Just send money.
They run those ads at least 20 times a day. I've started turning off the radio when these ads come on. And I donated my car to the Kidney Foundation.
Anyway, thanks for the yucks. I will be back.

Great site!
Hi Nate,
I saw an article in our Salt Lake Trib about your site, and thought.."Damn!!!
Somebody best me to it!"
Thanks for your site, so's we can enjoy your efforts to not only expose pure
crap, but the a-holes behind them. I think it's great to name the "creative"
team behind the garbage that someone saw fit to pay good money for.
Cheers!

Great Rant!
Hey Nathan,
Absolutely loved your rant/letter to 60 minutes. Very well written. Too bad the stupid asswipes will ignore it. Also enjoyed the Post of the Week. God I hate when they portray every couple as being white trash or Dumb Daddy with the Supermom yuppie wife. Gag.
I'm tired of one of our local ones that is pushing Oshkosh for little ones. This stupid bitch going on about her 2 cutie pies, Isabel and "Hurricane" Henry. You hear Henry destroying the house in the background and her inane responses: "The vacuum cleaner isn't a toy sweetie, neither is kitty." Isn't he just soooo cute when he beats up on little sister and breaks the marble-topped table. Kee-rash. Puh-leeze. I'm glad Mooch is back. She was sorely missed.

I love your site.
Hey Nathan,
I like your site. It really protrays alot of commercials that are hated on television. Yeah...Old Navy still makes crappy commercials, but have you heard the crappy music they play? Not to mention that it's played at full blast so you have to practically yell at the employees for help.
I've also noticed that our media is still on mostly single ethnicity. I'm a Japanese born American and find it kind of annoying that most commercials on the Mainland show only caucaucian (sp?), and the very small amount of blacks, asian and hispanic people on tv. My mom said because not many asians are into the media business. But common, if our world had a more mixed ethnical commercials I think we'd see eye to eye, or probably sprout more prejudice or whatever.
Another commercial I hate is the Fanta soda commercial. Seriously who the hell wants to buy a soda with a comeon that if you drink it these hot, ditzy annoying girls will suddenly popup and dance with you? Gods has our media productionists sunk this low??? Haha...but you relise now that they haven't shown that damned commercial for along time. Before it used to be nearly every commercial break but now it's hardly shown.
Jcpennys ads are dumb, mainly because the stores where I live have all closed up! I don't give a damn if our tv is runned by Mainland time, it's just plain annoying.
I know I ment to say how I loved your site, but it ended up being on the commercials I hate, but I have one more I promise.
Well it's not really a commercial but just a theme based one...When ever the have themes based on Hawaiian Luaus. GOD IT'S SICKENING!!!!!! As a American born and raised in Hawaii I find these themes so freaken prejudice. I think it was the movie called North that was played on the Disney Channel...just watch and you'll understand.
My reason is that some people still think we live in grass huts on a sanded beach with only the size of a shopping mall. Plus when people come here they think all there is to see is that we all have luaus every night, wear only hawaiian printed clothes etc. That's not it. Hawaii has become a multi-cultural island where the food has been mixed by the many people who have lived here. But the one thing that hilarious is the coconut bras. My mom teaches Hawaiiana for her fourth grade class and she says that the hawaiians didn't wear coconut bras because it was a thing they ate, and i'd think it's be uncomfortable too. And the final thing that urks me is how some people on the Mainland see us as not part of the American culture. It's true ask around and some people will deny us being part of America.
Thanks for your time. Sorry again for a vent based letter. ^_^;

That you are an idiot with admin/moderator privelages. I bet your parents can't WAIT for you to move out you fucking dolt. I'm betting this moonlighting doesn't compare to the power you have at the drive thru window.

Oil of Olay Polygraph commercial
I came across your site in an effort to find the agency and model/actress in this Oil of Olay commercial. I figured that you would have some sources who could find out this info for me.
I don't hate this commercial!
Thanks

blue Gatorade
Nathan,
Upon researching "Gatorade ingredients list" I came upon your very interesting website.
My son's favorite beverage is the blue Gatorade (whatever flavor that is???)
I had recently read/heard somewhere that cobalt blue is a dangerous food/product additive.
I began to wonder where the "blue" came from for the blue Gatorade.
The label calls it "Blue 1", but does not mention cobalt.
In researching "Blue 1", I found one website that puts "Blue 1" into a category of "unsafe for anyone. . ." and it listed 6 countries which have BANNED it!
"Blue 1" is ALSO listed on my former liquid dishsoap (Dove??? Palmolive???) which I threw out. I had thought it curious that the blue gatorade EXACTLY matched the color of our dishsoap!!!!!
We Americans are so dumb for blindly accepting all the terrible additives put into our foods and products.
