Sorry if this has been mentioned above already. I hate the commercial where a guy is driving along and his hood ornament is singing, and he’s singing along with it. The animated hood ornament just creeps me the hell out. It has an icky pointy little face and it looks like it should be an imp from a horror movie. ---

It’s not the hood ornament’s fault she was mis-cast. ---

I think it’s fascinating, the love-it or hate-it feelings people have about that commercial. The ad agency struck a perfect note there. ---

I wonder if it comes down to age? I like the commercial simply because it features a great song from my youth. I’m generally too busy singing along to consider the creepiness of the hood ornament(although I can see why some find it unsettling). ---

This is KC - I love my adopted city, but if Patrick eats there/vouches for it and it is any good at all (and I assume it is), then it should be fine as long he stays in town. Unhealthy eating and fan-boyism is one of our things. ETA: I guess that is two things. ---

1. What’s with that commercial where the product is a shower head with a speaker in it, and the people take the speaker part out and dance around with it? Is that something anyone wanted? 2. I don’t want to see any more cockroaches in commercials, whether live, animated, magnified, talking, or in any form whatsoever. ---

Is that something anyone wanted? My son just “upgraded” his bathroom and installed a vent fan/light that has a Bluetooth connection to play music. It also lights in different colors. ---
