I just saw one for NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League). They show a young mother lovingly teaching her daughter how to ride a bike while the narrator drones on about "keeping your dreams alive..." How dishonest; talk about ignoring reality and living in a fantasy ! !
Every drug company ad on television ranks up there on my list. <i>Side effects include your skin turning inside out and convulsive seizures. Those who plan to continue to eat while taking the drug should consider that food interaction with the drug results in the inability to breathe for prolonged periods of time. Tell your doctor you'd like to try Killocor today!</i> ugh
Thought of another one (this is a pet peeve of mine): Chevron does this whole ad about how they saved a flock of migratory and animals by protecting their watering hole and how they allowed an offshore drilling platform to be sunk for the good of the fish. <i>Do people care about the environment? People do.</i> Yeah, but a big freakin' chemical company DOES NOT.
I hate any political ads that feature the candidate either : 1) Roping a calf 2) Wearing a cowboy hat, leaning up against a fence, talking to someone 3) Making obvious pantomimes of talking to kids, or other people, when you know damn well they aren't 4) Walking with his family down a sidewalk while its sunny and green and everyone is laughing and smiling. 5) Posing with members of the Luftwaffe. To think that I would be swayed by such tactics insults me.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I think the Red Lobster adds where a little animal is running away and then a second later its steaming on a dinner plate is in poor taste. (Interesting how that contrasts to ther respect native Americans showed to the spirits of animals that they killed for food). The Carls Jr adds with munching sound-effects and ketchup splattering about annoy us.
AMEN. I hate the one where the guy is in the acquarium looking lovingly at the lobster he wants to EAT. Nice.
Yeah it bugs me when I have to hear someone eating their food, let alone at amplified volumes. I also dislike the "gritty" voice of the commentator. *grity* dont bother me *even more gritty* IMMM eating. Plus I went ther a few weeks ago and the burger tasted 3 days old.
The prescription drug ads, the anti-drug ads, Pepsi ads (we should never have to see Bob Dole on television), republican political ads, and many more...
giddy, Those are really annoying commercials. I also greatly dislike the Chick-fil-a dairy cows who want you to eat more chicken so they don't get slaughtered ads. Ads that try to seel you stuff. Ads for genital herpes that always have the woman doing watersports. Local car dealer commercial that scream at you. Monster truck commercials that scream at you and repeat words like "crash" and "bucks" and "death" while using the voice of Satan. Many more that I, fortunately, seemed to have blocked out of my memory.
Numbers 3 and 4 on the Molson ads list I find offensive, on your behalf. The rest are at least half funny. This is the company that did the I AM CANADIAN ad, and they've just gone too far with a couple of the follow up. http://www.bensimonbyrnedarcy.com/LatestWork/
the truth ads are hideous. They make me want to buy my first carton. The worst part is the Real World-esque placement of the black guy with a dreadfro, a blonde chick, an Asian guy with black-rimmed glasses, and a pudgy white dude doing all the Phil Morris-funded "damage." My least favorite, the only ad that's ever made me get up to turn a TV off, is the milk ad with the kid gurgling. Just the thought of gurgling milk, seriously, writing this post makes my stomach churn.
Gallery Furniture saves you MONEY come on it's been a couple of decades now give it a freakin rest The truth commecials are annoying We know the truth... it's not like we haven't been hearing tobacco kills for years now... the truth does not matter
The kid gurgling milk annoys me too. Whats the point? If one store is out of something, just walk your happy ass to another store that has what you want. Everytime I see that commercial I want to slap that kid.
