If I Had a Million Dollars, I would hire people who can at least hold a note!

I have been seeing this painfully unavoidable Lotto commercial with them singing "If I had a million dollars...".  And all those people there (except the choir) can't sing for s**t.  Now, I change the channel every time that commercial comes on, but a brutha can do so much.  And at my job, the places that have TV, I can't just change the channel, a lot of people would not be happy. Oh, if only they bring back the Lotto guy.

Side question: What other commercial p**ses you off to the point of taking a M-16 rifle to your tv screen and then a sledgehammer, all the while wondering why they aired that pice of s**t?

P.S.: That new Chili's commercial with N'Sync stranded in that island.  Don't you wish that big box landed on all of them?

here in the Netherlands we have a commercial that could go for Most Retarded Commercial. You get some lame story that kinda goes like this: "On the bottom of the ocean, where all the best scents(is that who you spell it?) gather, perfume-pearls formed. The pearls floated upwards and caressed white roses on the way up (roses in the ocean???). Those are the pearls the new Breese Ultrafresh Toiletfreshener are made of."
ALL THAT CRAP FOR A TOILETFRESHENER??????????????

A few years back we had a commercial where a soapopera star sang about how much she loved her computer (???? Get a boyfriend!). The REALLY annoying part was that her voice could be compared to a cat being tied down and set on fire.

A commercial with *NStync??? Now that's retarded!

Check the caps-lock key there, Joe

As for NASCAR, It's much like many sports.  It can be boring if you don't understand the strategic and mental aspects, but quite exciting once you learn what's really going on


As for commercials, I hate any commercial that basically shows me an idiot doing something stupid that the companies product would help.  The implication is, "if you're an idiot, too you need this product, too"

No thanks

Forget commercials.  What about infomercials??   As someone who isn't blessed with cable, late night local networks were the only source of bad movies to be had since big movie rental chains killed the mom n pop vid stores I used to frequent.  Now those damned infomercials are tying up the airwaves and it's nigh impossible to catch even the most popular no-name b-movies.  grr.

I hearby cast my Pocket Fisherman into the flames in disgust.  Take that, Ron Popeil!

I remember there was this old commercial, when those treasure trolls were the thing back then.  They were the ones with the doable hair.  And then this one little white girl has this line: "I wish I had dredlocks, mon".  She didn't even try to imitate a West Indian accent.  I don't blame the girl 'cause she's just a kid, she just said her line and done.  Who I blame is the writer  and the director for stereotyping the fact that those who where dreds are from the West Indies, mainly, Jamaica, and it just plain stupid.
