There's this telephone ad where this father and son are standing in front of a store window and the son asks the father if he thinks the store will ever put the phones on sale. "Sure," replies the father," when pigs fly." Moments later, a porker is seen WALKING up to the startled pair. Great special effects, ad men, a walking pig. At least Duke the dog in the Bush baked bean ads attempts to send his pig sailing off the roof wearing goggles and a flight cap.

Television now-a-days is being bombarded by several different weight loss programs where, if you buy their pre-packaged food and eat only it, you will lose weight in no time. But the ads do not go on to explain how, after going back to your regular diet afterward, the pounds will mysteriously re-materialize. The only way that these diet programs will work then is for the user to continue eating the pre-packaged foods FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. Think about that!

Right! And that may not be healthy in the long run. The only thing that works is eating healthy and exercise - for the rest of your life...

The music Vonage uses is annoying.

So Bobby has an Oreo Cakester. What's the big deal? Is he the only one in camp that can afford one?

Another religious piece of music bites the dust, as CHARMIN toilet tissue sees fit to use the HALLELUJAH CHORUS in its television advertizement. What's next? Will we see SILENT NIGHT being used in a sleep aid commercial?

CHARMIN must've taken it's musical cue from an old episode of KING OF THE HILL, in which Hank Hill is suffering from a bout of constipation. When Hank finally makes a successful bathroom run, he exits, to the strains of the HALLELUJAH CHORUS.
Why does the media take poking fun at religion so lightly?

Those Wendy's ads with those men in Pippi Longstocking wigs must stop! To think that someone is actually earning a living by thinking up such junk. The ads only serve to drive people away from Wendy's. Don't they know that, already? I mean, how many people do they imagine will actually walk up to each other on a crowded street, or byway and say, "Gosh, did you just see that Wendy's ad with the guy in the Pippi Longstocking wig? It was so good that, from now on, I think I will do nothing but eat at Wendy's.

Then there's that Di-Tech insurance ad that asserts that "PEOPLE ARE SMART". As Mark Twain once remarked, "Who found that out?"

That Taco Bell Beefy-Cheesy Melt ad, where customers are shown stretching around two feet of mozarella cheese from the product with their teeth is a fraud. I tried one of the alleged stretchy things myself and not a strand of cheese, in fact, stretched. It was more like Naco cheese and it ran down my hand and burned it. I reckon 'truth in advertizing' does not apply to Taco Bell and it's Beefy- Oozy Melt.

This sort of recalls the scene in FALLING DOWN where Michael Douglas is very disappointed with his WhammyBurger.

Hey Bromhead I have seen the one your talking about! They have this stacked/wigged bimbette interviewing couples on the street and every couple she talks to,the guy says he has used it to get bigger and last longer, talk about dorky and stupid! I forget the name of it but it has been on Spike TV and the FX channel late at night! Then there is Viagra and Cialis commercials which are stupid, they say something like if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hrs go see a doctor or ER. HUH I don`t think so! Just try to image some one going to the ER with a pitched tent or a Doctor`s office! TED COLE....aka....Cole_blooded

Yet another horrible Wendy's ad, showing a man wiith a Pippi Longstocking wig at a political debate. I will never eat at Wendy's again and it is their own fault for airing such ads.
