Television commercials...Ugh!
 

I know, I know, about the remote and how to change channels or mute the guilty commercial, but the latest one rubs me the wrong way....Have you viewed the commercial showing the parents trying to decide which child is their favorite....I know there is some sick humor in this BUT "I'm just saying"...Any that rub you the wrong way?

I agree. All of my kids played that "who's your favorite" thing...I stopped it easily by saying "I don't like any of you!" (they knew I was kidding but it did stop the question!!)

Sad
 

I was thinking the same thing when I first viewed that commercial. It doesn't make any sense and is hurtful. Nothing funny in that at all.

Oh and that other commercial "Hail to the V". Whaaaaat. Are you kidding me?

I guess I can go on and on, but won't.

agree with you on the V commercial...very strange

I also agree about that commercial, the funny thing is, I cannot even recall what product they were selling, just the absurdity of the commercial.

I am bracing myself for all the very ugly political ads that are just beginning for the next 18 months or so......thank goodness for Tivo/DVRs

First time I saw that commercial, I wanted to cry. I know it's acting, I know it's a script, I know the kids aren't really siblings, but ....... How absolutely cruel!

No comment on the V commercial. Bad taste is bad taste no matter what it costs.

Ditto. But the latest trend when watching either on-line or on demand is to not allow users to bump through commercials:cry:

I am so glad you brought this up. I thought it was just me.

How about "any" of the commercials lately that require you to reduce the volume on your TV set otherwise you'll get blown right out of the room. Automobile ads seem to be the most annoying. Maybe it's just me, but I'll bet a lot of television watchers experience the same thing every day.

I haven't seen the commercial. Can someone post a link?

I hate to give any help to ATT
 

but it was their ad....Parents triying to decide which of their children they were going to give the DVD choice to that day....Ugh!...I'm sure you could find it on ATT website

Commercials @#$%%%%^^. We either record what we choose to watch (to fast-forward thru commercials) or if not possible, we mute at all commercials. Initially, way back when... paid cable was for no commercials..... wha happened??? Now we see more commercials than the actual program and pay dearly for cable.

What's wrong with this picture?

I don't have the link, but it is for AT&T U Verse. They are running all the time around here.

Found it!!!

I hadn't seen it before.

To be honest.. I did laugh... Oh wait... you think that's why my kids are in therapy??? CRAP!!! BAD mommy!!!!:D

Thanks for the link. I watched about 5 of their spots and don't really have a problem with any of them. In marketing you know that all humor will offend some people, you just have to make more laugh than not. BTW, I love my daughter the most too. But then again I only have one child:)
