I'm sure Levon Helm is rolling over in his grave: "The Weight" being used as an ad for some farm game. Gah! That is simply Not Right.

^^^^I was on my desktop the other day and heard that come on and was jamming, because I like the song. THEN I saw what it was for. I don't know who gave this the ok.

1. The Life Alert commercial where the lady says "I've fallen and I can't get up!". I'm sure it's a great product, but her horrible acting is annoying.

2. Any commercial that discusses "transvaginal mesh".

Lumosity, when they say it makes their brain feel great. Really? The only time I notice how my brain feels is if it hurts. This is so stupid.

The tampon commercial featuring the woman who is rock climbing in
short-shorts. Yeah, we get that you're really really confident in your product's ability to get it done.

Could have taken it down about 15 on the subtlety meter, though.

The only ones that I've heard of are Lawyer commercials for Class Action lawsuits.

Another one to add to the "why wasn't the marketing team fired" list:
Value City Furniture... the couple buys a couch from VCF and he says "makes everything else in the room so.... " and then they both start gagging and retching while they're looking at their old coffee table.

gross.

I have been planning to write this too. Their other commercial, about the "CHAISE" lounge is so annoying too.

The operatic J.G. Wentworth "I have a structured settlement but I need cash now! Call 866-CASH-NOW!"

I can't imagine how sad it would be to be a trained opera singer and resorting to singing in one of those commercials...and listing it on your performance credits.

I hate the SlimFull bar commercials. Everytime I hear that woman say "eating less is a beautiful thing" and I get really angry. It's a terrible message to send to teen girls and women.

It's just as bad as Kate Moss "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

While I do think "Let's Be Cops" is going to be a funny movie, I'd like to NOT see the commercial for it multiple times an hour.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I don't consider myself overly sensitive and I just cannot handle those commercials for feminine products that use the slogan, "Hail to the V!" WTF? Saluting a crotch?
