I don’t have cable TV, but every now and then I’ll be in a bar that has it and I get my dose of really stupid TV. But nothing I have seen before pissed me off like this new commercial. They are trying to sell this car (I think Ford) and they are trying to get the opinion about the car from  
Mr. Clean the animated bald guy who cleans floors. What the fuck, are they advertising 2 products in one commercial? What is next? A guy drives up to McDonalds in his Ford Explorer and buys a Coke?

Already happened. Haven’t you seen the commercial for Fit vegetable wash that also serves as an ad for TGI Friday’s? Or the Febreeze spot that also plugs a rental car company? They’re dumb, and they’re out there.
