More Ads I Love to Hate

This one takes the proverbial cake... who among us wants to live life without bein' able to see stuff in HIGH DEFINITION?


It's stuff like this that makes me believe there's NO f*cking hope for America.  The models in this commercial demonstrate new highs in acting ability, no?  I just love all the head nods, the quality testimonials, and the clue-free dude cruising along on his mo'sickle without a helmet.  I hope his new-found HD vision keeps his brains in his head if he unloads...

Cue up ZZ Top.

    This will be very enjoyable in about 20 years.

    Come on Buck, you know those sexy models were right up your alley. Just 'cause they didn't show their boobs on this commercial doesn't mean they won't show them at a hockey game.

    Sexy is as sexy does, Lou... at my age, anyhoo. I don't have anything against eye candy as long as the eye candy refrains from bein' stoopid. Dumb-ass dialog just takes ALL the "desirability" away, yanno?

    "As seen on tv" and "wait...2 for the price of one!".

    Translation: "We made some crap that one will buy".

    Okay, there have been times I have over-reacted to things, and you've been right there to, uh, correct me...time to pay it back bro. Yes, I'll go along, the ad was stultifying and insipid. But that's the problem; it's way too mediocre in all respects to make any kind of list.

    Contrast this with these...especially that "bottom" item that comes first. Mmmph. Love to bounce that kid's head off a cement wall.

    Morgan: From yer link: ... and think, Yeah. I totally identify with those guys. I want to buy what they buy.

    Now watch the HD thing again (and give just a passing thought to the concept of "HD Vision") and tell me I'm over-reacting. I think NOT.

    BR: I think ya meant "that NO one will buy," right?

    I mean the commercials will be laughed at as typical of our era in the same way that we laugh at stuff from the fifties now - the whole thing being hokey. :)
    Pride in technology, "cool" upscale young folks and baby boomers - and good old American "something (not!) for nothing."

    Buck: I did mean "no one". Thanks for the catch.

    These should come with some sort of warning so that your eyes don't clog up with intense images. Clearly one wouldn't want to go back to looking at his wife without the special HD lenses.

    P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute"
    The ad kind of propigates that theory!

    Yeah, HD vision. It is pretty weird when you think about it. What's next, 3D sunglasses? I love the way they do that "But wait" line. You always know what's coming up: a freebie. I had a prof once who said that countries always perish because of excess of one of their basic premises. In our case, it could be advertising, especially those ads that really suck like this one.

    Heh. I wonder if the floggers of this crap have thought about that?

    Ed: That ad DEPENDS on Barnum's Maxim.

    I love the way they do that "But wait" line. You always know what's coming up: a freebie.

    Why is it the purveyors always offer TWO of whatever-the-hell-it-is they're selling? Who wants or needs two of any damned thing? And exactly what... or how MUCH... is "separate processing and handling?" They never tell ya that.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
