I actually like the Sport Ka commercials.

I would never buy a Sport Ka, but at least this is better than about 99% of the other commercials I've seen.  I've always hated car commercials, jeans commercials, and the old MCI commercials.  I wish I could find the really annoying one with the annoying operator who says, "Put it in writing, AT&T."
