HAD IT with "those" commercials too much information

Abbey -

I don't think ANYONE would have to point that problem out.

POINT being the key word.

ooooooh, this thread is going downhill in a bad way.....

So, how 'bout those Mets?

...she's slim and luscious in her disco dancing fever...he's sitting by the bar, watching...waiting for her attention to be drawn to him...she looks around and sees him watching her with pure lust in his eyes and mind...he nods, glances at the door and looks back at her beckoning her to join him in a more secluded, intimate setting...she smiles with the look of the tigress waiting to love its prey...they look at the camera and start to talk about his "unit enhancement pill" that makes him "bigger and better"...

AND...

it comes with free "enhancement" cream too!!!!!


Tell me....


wouldn't his hands get bigger too?

Star honey, this is what TiVo and iPods are for. Zap zap zap. They're the best during election years. I get to make my decisions based upon my own research, not ramped up hyperbole.

I---sniff, sniff, can't aford Tivo and If IF I were able to afford it - you can't imagine the WWIII another electronicly programmable device would cause.....

We nearly had our last words over a tv remote programmable problem.

If you get satellite or cable, they'll deliver a TiVo to the house, program it, and give you lessons before they leave. All you have to do is sign up for a year's programming. You can record two different programs at once, while watching a third. Cheapest programming is about $30 a month.

I have had the "joy" of explaining these things to my children. For us, making things up doesn't work - I want the kids to know that I will answer honestly. BUT I really really don't want to explain this stuff during family gatherings, dinner, or any mixed group.

Commercials have gone downhill over the last however many years. I hate them now.

My solution??? At the commercials we ALL get up and do a chore until the show comes on. Get another load of laundry to fold, put dishes in the dishwasher, pick up 10 books off the bedroom floor and put them away, you name it.

I also have a list of items I will NEVER purchase - based solely on the horrible commercials. I even send letters to the companies of the worst ones. They send me lots of coupons, and I STILL won't buy them.

Star, you are not alone. This is partly why we have so many shows on dvd or vhs.

Have any of you seen the condom commercial where the guy starts out as a pig, goes into the bathroom and puts quarters in the machine, gets his little Trojan package and walks out of the bathroom transformed into this macho guy?

It took me two times of seeing it to actually figure out what was happening...lol.

I hate the Just for Men commercials and all those smilin bob things. Maxiderm is just as bad...Cory actually called them but told them never mind when he found out you have to pay shipping and handling for the free sample. Imagine my surprise when I got a call back from them asking if I was sure I didnt want to try it!

I actually like the Charmin bears commercial...its cute. And the Sleep Inn one with the little dancing bear. I dont know if other people get one commercial but its for Assurance insurance and they show a guy dressed up to look like Bush (and Clinton in one add) and he does all kinds of funny things with the secret service saving him. Its really rather cute.

I watch TV while I am eating lunch and have the remote handy to flip channels if need be. Especially the pepto commercial. Who wants to hear that while eating??? We don't watch TV during dinner that is the little bit of family time we have together.

We have also scrambled for the remote during the evening with the kids in the room - everything from ED to Victoria Secret commercials - hey they don't need viagra just tape the VS commercials - that should be enough to get them going.

Okay I feel for the guys with that problem I know it must be difficult but I don't need to explain to my kids what ED is for crying out loud.

Reminds me of the young men wanting the Sears & Roebuck, Montgomery Wards catalogs to look at the forbidden BRA and girdle section -

I did see a very cute commercial today, for those Oreo 100 calorie packs.

5 ladies are on an elevator. The elevator stops and one walks off. You get a back view of her, and she has a black dress on. Buttons down the back of her dress. All the other girls are kinda looking. Elevator doors close, and one of the girls starts singing Miss Mary Mack, Mack Mack...

One by one the other ladies join in. By the time the doors open again, all four are singing it, and doing the "patty cake" hand thing to go with it (that we ALL know). Doors open and of course, people are there to catch them looking silly.

Catch phrase - recess is back.

It's not really "distasteful" but the one I absolutely HATE is that Botox commercial with the woman mugging and making faces for the camera ... like she's just totally ate up with her own personal cuteness factor! I guess it's supposed to show that your face will still move after having Botox treatments, but it makes me just wanna slap her silly!

And every time I see it I'm reminded of that old episode of "Absolutely Fabulous" (the BBC channel) where Patsy, the slutty one, gets Botox injections and her whole face freezes up!
