     I voted the entire slate, with the "other" being the current crop of Scientology ads; oh, PLEASE! AND the Consumer Celluar ads.
I call this the "Feed Jack, Connie, Clyde, Diane, Fred, and Doris to the Kraken" Plan.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

I voted for Supposedly funny, but really stupid. Mainly because of the recent AT&T commercials. Yeah the girl's cute, but what other talent does she have?

edit-Holy crap, she's doesn't really need any other talent does she? But I still don't think she's funny.

I usually have to watch their ads for several weeks before I figure out what it's supposed to be an ad for...

TP ads.  I don't need to see bears copping a squat either behind a tree that is only two inches wide or in a house either.

People watches ads? O_o

Ok, seriously. Medicines and all kind of ads that imply unreal standard of wealth or beauty.

Since I started using Netflix and other options, I don't really see many ads anymore. It's amazing when I do what normal TV how much I hate ALL the ads. But as a general rule the ones I hate most are exploitative 'sex sells' rubbish for no point. It's amazing that we have a point that condom ads are much more modest and tame [and less sexist] than some deodorant ads.

As I mentioned I also watch almost no ads. So I never thought of that, but I think you are right. Really interesting.

Those anti-smoking ad's from The Truth were the worst ever.  I think that was a big reason I quit watching TV and switched to DVD's and Netflix.

Those damned Mesothelioma commercials, or any of that ambulance chaser crap.  I can't imagine that there's a single human being in the US who hasn't seen a thousand of those, yet they keep running them.

Any ad that thinks it's funny but it's just lame - a lousy joke is bad enough but a lousy joke repeated 100 times is criminal.

Any of those ad's where some idiots hired an advertising company that thinks they're an artiste and they do some film school project where they say something about something for 25 seconds, then show a totally unrelated picture of the product at the end.  Cadillac has got some really stupid ones right now.

Surreal perfume ads that if it wasn't for them telling you what they are selling right at the end, you'd have no idea what the advert was about.

All of them.  Advertising is premised on lying and it struck me as significant many years ago that the types of ads coincided with Logical Fallacies.

I abhor consumerist culture and the carrot-on-a-stick mentality that drives advertising: what you have is never enough.  Spend.  Spend.  Spend.  Consume.  Waste.

THEY LIVE was prophetic.

When I saw that movie I felt really sad. The reason that the message: "buy, consume, buy, be unhappy, you want more, consume,..." that fills our life is NOT fault of an alien race. But just because we are idiots.

There appeared to be this trend a few years ago where the fad was to be make the spokes-person/mascot purposely as annoying as possible.

Joke for ya-A bear and a rabbit are takin a s**t-the bear asks the rabbit-"Do you have a problem with s**t sticking to your fur?"
Rabbit says-"no"
So the bear picks him up and wipes his ass with him.

What freaks me out is commericials that will cure your skin problems and make you pretty-BUT MAY RESULT IN DEATH.
They list a drug that may-MAY help-but then list a hundred side effects that are worse than the condition you have! Real fast too! Some side effects are-than rattle off like an auctioneer-and end up with-"which may be fatal.'
Means yer gonna DIE!  Buggedout
I reckon if I have a skin condition or my dick dont get hard-dying will cure that! Ill get a stiffie if Im dead! Its called rigor mortis!
