Agreed! 'Rap' is not 'music' and is 'gangsta' and pushes the limits on 'accepting the brutal ignorant as equals' and does ethnically-slant anything when used in the background which alienates many possible customers. Having said that, ANY RAP used in any commercial is a bad thing. I swear I am not biased and I do not carry a little white 'Pope Hat' in my back pocket. |

I just noticed the Twin Towers wish they were still here. The new complex is okay but pales in comparison to the original. Now I'm basing this on videos and pictures I've seen not on personal experience. The last time I saw them before 9/11 was in a morning in 1999 from a car window heading East looking North trying to find the Statue of Liberty. I was looking at images of the towers noticing how perfect and symmetrical they were. Funny thing is if they were still around I would first notice how ugly they are. Odd how a tragedy does that to your thinking. Stupid Silverstein still wants the leaning tower of POS. @#$& it! Build a twin! The skyline looks downright defeated right now holes still there. I'll never get over 9/11! Maybe I will! who knows! Back on topic! If I hear that damn "I'm All The Way Up" song on the Mountain Dew commercial, one more FRIGGEN time! I'M GONNA LOOSE IT! |

FOCUS GROUPS -- especially those with the disclaimer, "Real People. Not Actors". This is becoming so commonplace that it seems to me to be the 21st century equivalent of the 60s-70s supposedly spontaneous hidden camera interview with a shopping housewife conducted by a product demonstrator. (My mother worked for a major ad firm during that time, and she told me that what qualified as "hidden camera" as they filmed the scripted commercial was simply a technician throwing a towel on top of the camera ...)

The way advertisers LIE these days, "hidden camera" could be their iPhone in a pocket or purse. Meanwhile, they are filming with a legitimate camcorder. Hey... still "technically" true. The iPhone has a camera, and it's hidden from view.

I've always loved truths built with simple qualifying humor like that!

Using that lame limp wristed group Vampire Weekend for any commercial. I loathe their light on the loafers Hipster drivel. The link above is their follow up sh*t hit to Holiday which has got to be one of the worst songs. Sounds like this group put their dildos in the dishwasher and they got free from the racks and banging around inside the DW tub! Add anything with Holiday Road. Hated that song in its original form. Fleetwood Mac starting with Rumors really Jumped The Shark. As mentioned screaming kids, man shaming and kids eating messy. Broadway Musical Show Tunes in commercials, excessive singing and dancing. Lack of humor in commercials thanks to the Milennials and their anal love of political correctness. AND WORST OF ALL? CHRISTMAS CREEP COMING EARLIER AND EARLIER. HATE CHRISTMAS AND HATE CHRISTMAS MUSIC! |

You're not kidding-- I especially loathed all these jokes of commercials that insisted that Trump would "Make America Great Again," when all he's done since becoming President is make it worse than it has ever been!

How so? Dow soared well into the 24,000s today. That's 6,000 points since he was elected. |

The retort commonly used on the CNN forums and other realms of liberal land is that things Obama did when he was President are the REAL cause of the markets being up and Trump had nothing to do with it............................despite the fact that it's been a YEAR. blah blah blah I guess the fact the markets were in decline before Election Day and started SHARPLY going up the very same MORNING that Trump was elected doesn't mean anything.

Boo hoo, your candidate hopeful didn't win. Get The F Uck Over It! I would like to hear one real reason why your life is personally worse off now than it was on November 7th or January 20th. Not some crisis you foresee in the future because of what might happen. What has happened since DJT has become Prez. See Thor's post about the stock market.

Trump is a dangerous, mentally unstable megalomaniac who has made the world less safe with his blowhard sabre rattling and intentionally trying to provoke other mentally unstable megalomaniacs who are even worse than he is. As a world leader he is bush league and even members of his own party are embarrassed by him. He has the worst approval rating of any President in history at this point of his presidency and deservedly so. He openly and brazenly lies and changes his positions on just about every issue from one minute to the next because he knows his shallow thinking supporters don't care. The only thing he's ever told the truth about is when he said he could walk out onto 5th Avenue and shoot someone, and he wouldn't lose any popularity with his base. As for Thor's comments on the stock market, whatever they were, the stock market enjoyed a huge rebound under Obama but I didn't hear any Trumptards crowing about that. Besides, anything Thor says about Trump is no more believable than anything Trump says about himself. Trump is trash. |

You're right. It doesn't mean anything. Mainly because it's not even true. The Obama bull market: A 140% jump in the Dow Now the orange clown is going to raise your taxes in order to give himself and the rest of the 1% a big fat tax cut and you all will just sit and clap like trained seals. Truly amazing. |

If you'd ever seen one of his shoes, you'd understand. When he used to play on our hometown b-ball team, a local sporting goods store had one of his sneakers on display. The thing must've been two feet long!!! |

Agreed. Or, equally as bad, multicultural friends hanging together. I know of at least one of those nauseating Holiday Road commercials that utilize that gimmick. |

yes, there's the millennial multicultural friends, usually four, sometimes five, squished into a Honda Fit or something equally small, playing hipster music, laughing it up, eating all manner of junk food and pop.... in reality if that were happening in my car, I'd change the station, pull over the side of the road and boot them all out with their junk food. Nobody eats in my Z-4!!! (also, I can't squish more than one other person in my bimmer, unless someone folds up in to the trunk)

I'm surprised the little hipster hoodlums didn't throw it out the window at someone walking down the sidewalk on the way to wherever they were going.
About what it's good for... |
