I don’t like that Skittles commercial where the old lady flashes her tits at her grandson. I don’t think I have to explain why.

Also, I thought we had seen the end of commercials that claim that their product makes old people act like young people. Didn’t the Simpsons kill them with their Buzz Cola gag? I guess not.

In other news, I like the commercial with the Japanese girls singing karaoke, but I forget what the product is.

Yeah, and the Simpsons also had an entire culture grow in a tiny jar and worship Lisa, its creator, as a god and…THE SIMPSONS DID IT! [/SP]

I don’t know if you guys have seen the “Boost Mobile” ads (for pay-as-you-go cellphones), but they’re really fucking disturbing.
