Just saw one for a local HVAC company for air conditioning service. It features a woman fanning herself with her hands while the voice-over talks about summer heat. The fanning woman is wearing a long sleeve sweater! Criminy, if you want to suggest how hot it is, why not have her in a sleeveless shirt or tank top or something? Stupid. ---

I’m sick of people making love to their cars. The woman who’s reciting, “Dear Predictable…” as she drives her Alfa Romeo, like she’s met someone new and more exciting. The man who oozes words, “Touching… feeling…” as he manhandles his Jaguar while presumably wishing it was a woman. Can’t hit ‘Mute’ fast enough. Jesus. I love a fun car as much as anyone, but just drive it already. ---

> [@salinqmind](#): > > Hate is a strong word, but that Graco car seat commercial showing how it adjusts as your kid grows? That last shot of a tall gangly kid rockin’ out to music, and sitting in a car seat? Isn’t she a few inches and a few years beyond a car seat? They’re called “booster seats”. [Laws](http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/child-passenger-safety/) vary by state, but generally children 8 and younger who are under 4 ft 9 inches tall must use a booster seat. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > And even worse is when the woman is encouraging people to “go commando.” I’m afraid she’s going to ask everyone coming out of the bathroom to wave their panties around to prove they did it. All toilet paper commercials are disgusting. Go commando? Would you want to sit ANYWHERE that someone who went commando sat? And “Enjoy the go”? What idiot thought that one up? Then got it approved by the creative director, vp, and the client? ---

One that’s getting on my nerves these days is the Charmin commercial where Daddy Bear insists that they can’t stay at a hotel because they have bad toilet paper, and Mommy Bear responds by pulling a pack of Charmin out of their luggage. Are they really suggesting that we should take our own toilet paper with us (Charmin brand, of course) when we travel? ---

Diamonds fucking Direct and their incessant radio commercials! This is how it’s been going on my favorite radio station the last few months, and as far as I can tell on all the other ones too because when I get fed up and change stations it won’t be five minutes until I hear one there too! **Diamonds Direct** commercial. 15-20 seconds of DJ chatter. **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Song Random commercial. **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Random commercial. Song **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Random commercial. **Diamonds Direct** commercial. 15-20 seconds of DJ chatter. Song Random commercial **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Random commercial Random commercial **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Song **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Random commercial **Diamonds Direct** commercial. Song **Diamonds Direct** commercial. And on and on and on it goes. These assholes have been running 12 to 15 commercials an hour, hour after hour, night after night, week after week, and month after month! And they apparently do this in every market where they have stores. Then, when I go online and search to see if anyone else has contemplated illegal activity to get back at them because of this shit, I can’t find a single fucking complaint anywhere! Somehow these assholes have managed to game the search engines so that virtually nothing but positive (and probably self-generated) stuff about them shows up, with only the rare complaint of an in-store experience being the only negative thing to be found. I know damn good and well other people hate that shit because at least three of the guys I work with hate 'em as much as I do. Mention Diamonds Direct around there and the place goes purple with rage! I can’t believe how much it must cost this undoubtedly fly-by-night outfit to almost single-handedly support the entire town’s radio stations, but said stations are gonna be in a world of hurt once that asshole company finally sucks every last dollar from the low and middle class shmucks it’s managing to lure into its store and goes out of business, because most of their regular advertisers will have long since moved on after being crowded out by these douchebags. ---

> [@guestchaz](#): > > The Liberty Mutual commercials. > “My insurance policy doesn’t do what I want it to do because I’m too stupid to read and ask questions. I didn’t pick the wrong policy, I picked the wrong insurance company.”(to paraphrase the ads) > Yeah, never buying insurance from that company. A congressman who introduced a bill making the use of photos or depictions of national monuments in advertising a federal crime, would get my vote. “You showed the Statue of Liberty in your ad. You wound up with six months in Leavenworth and a $100,000,000 fine. All because you picked the wrong country to sell your insurance.” ---

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDO2WFuL0tQ)is one of many local to the DC area for this dealership, and I want to throw things at the TV every time I see that blond bobblehead!!! She’s the owner’s daughter and she’s been doing their commercials for years - I understand she works at the dealership, too. Doesn’t change that I think she’s creepy looking. ---
