Just sitting here trying to enjoy a little TV and that fucking commercial with **THAT FUCKING NOISE** comes one every 5 minutes! I can’t get to the Mute or Pause button fast enough. To make it worse, it has fucking snowboarders on it! Fuck it. I quit! I’m going to watch PBS. I don’t even care what’s on. It won’t be **THAT FUCKING NOISE!** And I won’t buy your fucking shit, either. And while I’m at it, I don’t like that fucking Anthem Bitch, either. What’s with that fucking hair? 😕 ---

I was expecting you to show up and throw stuff down here. I figured you would try to defend that fucking noise as music. But you can’t, can you? And that’s another thing: That fucking AT&T chick is kind of a bitch. ---

Another old fart chiming in. I can’t understand why some company would try to sell its products by using the most obnoxious noise the human mind could imagine. I simply cannot watch it. ---

I really hope I’m not as much of a condescending prick as you are when I am your age. Back when you were in your 20’s or 30’s, did you ever look at old people complaining about the music you liked as being “just noise” and say “I’m never going to be like that!” ---

Whiny old geezers are not the target market for new technology. I am, and I like it. It’s modern, upbeat, and catchy, which is all you need for that type of commercial. ---

Wait - this the commercial you’re whining about? With 2EN1? What’s the problem? It sounds like every other synth-heavy bit of techno-pop from the last thirty years. It’s completely disposable but it’s nothing weird or boundary-pushing. You’re not just being a whiny old geezer - you’re being a whiny old geezer who’s thirty years late to your own rant. ---

What’s with that fucking hair? 😕 It’s not the usual kind of music that I like, but I crank that one up. Maybe upgrade your audio system. It sounds pretty cool with a subwoofer. Bam-ba-la-ba-bum-bum da-da-da-da-da. ---

I kinda like that tune, and I’m old and like to fart. But I really think they should have gone with: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dQw4w9WgXcQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) ---

> [@PatriotGrrrl](#): > > Whiny old geezers are not the target market for new technology. Actually, at the $1000+ portable kinda tablet/kinda laptop range, I think whiny old geezers are _exactly_ the target market. Those snowboarders don’t have the cash. ---

I was right with you until that last bit. You dare to speak of the future Mrs. Kabong in such an insolent manner? Pistols at dawn, sir. Or broadswords at sunset. Whatever. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Same with those assholes Matt and Kim they use on the fucking Buick shitwagon ads. Oh, you mean the ad where the ultradorky young couple are spying on the Garcias and their new fat-ass SUV and thinking “boy, that doesn’t look like the usual piece of shit I associate with Buick!” I guess I never noticed the music, because I was too busy laughing at people who’d be envious of Buick owners. ---

I say from here on out whenever anybody responds to **gatopescado** , they throw a link to some [dubstep](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJVmu6yttiw#t=27s) in the post. Hide it, too. Something like “While I agree that Republicans are not as fiscally responsible as they claim to be, I find [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLyH94jNau0#t=44m22s) to be highly informative.” P.S. While “gato” and “pescado” may mean “cat” and “fish” respectively in Spanish. The Spanish word for “catfish” is [“bagre”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSHmQtTTDn4#t=29m). ---
