That damned Haribo Gummy Bear commercial with the adults in a board room, all sounding like 3 year old kids, that have a case of arrested development. Itā€™s not funny, itā€™s not cute, it is just annoying as hell. The writers have never been around children, or if they have they have been around the stupidest kids anywhere. ---

You know that commercial for some drug or other that proudly proclaims itā€™s better than its competition because it affects six things rather than one? And ā€œsix is more than oneā€? Today I saw an ad for some new drug that proudly proclaims that it is better than the competition \*\*because \*\*it affects only one thing while the competition affects some larger number. Somehow they stop short of saying ā€œone is less than (whatever it wasā€ :smack: ---

The apple commercial with ā€œstickersā€ for the iPhone. Yes, 140 characters is wasteful. Letā€™s further devolve communication to the electronic equivalent of cave drawings. ---

My current ā€œhateableā€ commercial is the one where the guy mumbles that he suffers from opioid-induced . . . constipation, and then goes to his doctor (who is totally hot) and she makes poop jokes. I imagine her pulling on rubber gloves. And yes, the Verizon ad for stickers is the lamest thing Iā€™ve ever seen. I mean, these people in the ad look like theyā€™re old enough to shave or wear bras, and then acting like kindergarteners. ---
