Then **DrDurr** pooped in his Depends and they all laughed and went home.

You know, I’m getting a bit tired of those commercials for **DrDeth** they’re playing every five minutes.

Also, someone teach that mook how to spell “death”, OK? I bet he’s one of those idiots who think his car has “breaks”.

You deserve more than that at this point - since you’re blatantly trolling and flaunting the rules in an attempt to start a fight.

So - fuck off already and go troll somewhere else.

No, remember that time he kept flogging away at a point and eventually everyone saw the light and agreed with him?

Remember?

> First, you made the erroneous claim that “fuck off” is against the rules and were told you’re wrong about that, because that was just you being a whiny bitch. So then, you went and looked up the specific rule, discovered that “fuck you” and “go fuck yourself” were prohibited, and then intentionally used both of those in a very naughty string of blatant violations of the letter of the rule, **knowing that Miller has an unofficial policy not to enforce those particular prohibitions**.

(emphasis added) - I don’t think that’s quite correct. As I remember, Miller has always enforced the rule against “fuck you” and its variants. His interpretation is that [“fuck off” is not a variant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18828431#post18828431) and is therefore OK.

I liked some of their travel info shows, However, last year they started putting commercials up saying how they were going to say Merry Christmas, not happy holidays, because war on Christmas or whatever. I mean, say Merry Christmas if you want, but don’t be an asshole about it.

Merry Christmas, asshole.

I also hate the Ferrer Roche ads simply because of the stupid jingle - how does one put their “harms” around someone else? Stupid twee Zoe Deschanel wannabe.

We can’t very well have our three year olds walking around with naked $200 smart phones. I don’t have any kids but I’ve bought all four so I can give it and a smartphone to my newborn once the nurse has wiped the goo off him/her.

I should pit **GrumpyBunny** because he reminded me that this commercial existed. I came to post it, but was beaten to the punch. I don’t know if it’s a holiday commercial, but I first saw it at my sister-in-laws the week pre-Thanksgiving. She has kids, and this commercial plays incessantly in kid-friendly channels. I didn’t even last through one viewing before turning to my wife and saying swearing vengeance on the adman who thought it up.

But, it had to have happened at some point, or surely he’d have learned by now. 😕

[Moderating]  
Saying “Fuck you” to other posters is against the rules. So is telling them to go fuck themselves. All three of these posts are against the rules. Do not do this again.

Here, however, you’re completely golden.

No warnings issued, regardless, but please try to pay attention to the rules.
