These are a few of my favorite things....

So lately, I've noticed an abundance of stupidity on television (more than the normal teenage show stupidity). Ads have begun to get more and more ridiculous as time passes. Here are two of my favorite new commercial phrases. (ACTUAL QUOTES from commercials that run on TV DAILY)

EAT ALL YOU WANT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT...AND WE COULDN'T SAY IT ON TV IF IT WASN'T TRUE!!!

(Really? There's absolutely NO lying on TV, huh? I missed that announcement.)

This line appears in a toilet paper commercial in which an ACTUAL PUPPY is running along strips of toilet paper and judging their softness and strength:

Puppy fantasy. Not a demo.

First off, do we really KNOW what a puppy fantasy consists of? Do we think SO LITTLE of man's best friend as to think his fantasies are about running along strips of toilet paper? Secondly, have Americans (and such groups as PETA) gotten SO out of hand that we have to explain to people that this REAL PUPPY isn't ACTUALLY running along toilet paper? Really?!?

Good grief!!!

L&S,
Leslie

My favorite is a Sausage commercial.

Eggs --from real chickens
Milk --from real cows
Sausage -- from Jimmy Dean!

Now really how much sausage can you make from one old man?

My favorite commercials are the ones that show incompetent people trying to make spaghetti or put tupperware bowls up. Are they high while they do this? What makes advertisers think that the lady from the tupperware kitchen can make noodles in a pitcher? Don't give her a mop to clean up. She might stab herself in the nostril.
