I find the ads for prescription medicines to be a bit strange, as well as annoying. Why are drug companies spending money to pitch these products to the general public? Doctors must just love it when patients tell them they need a drug that they saw in a TV commercial

Ads are getting a bit more personal too. Lately I've been seeing TV spots targeting women that're pushing razors specifically designed for trimming/shaving pubic hair, as well as ads for small trimmers for men to use when "manscaping". Will commercials for woman's "personal massagers" be next?

This market is also being bombarded with TV ads for expensive screens that attach to your roof gutters so they don't clog up with leaves.

And if I NEVER see another commercial for The Good Feet Store, it'll be too soon!

The one with the short, heavy-set guy that states.."I took two steps out of the store and started crying" .....is so much BS.

The Kars for Kids car donation ad is the worst. Kids not even playing instruments with an annoying squirrel girl voice over the top of it all. It is so bad it is probably effective as it sticks in your mind.

Have you seen the one about girls shaving pubic hair??? I think it is a Venus commercial and is very strange with dancing pubes. Very wierd and annoying.

Agreed.

Mute button is my favorite.

NOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks for reminding me of that (not). Now I've got it ringing in my head.

When I couldn't watch the Bruins play, I would listen to the radio broadcast over the internet and that song played at least 10-20 times per game. I can hear it even now. The CIA can use it for torture/interrogation.

Now they're looking for you to donate real estate and you get a tax deductible receipt. I heard it in XM this morning

Other than Hobies lady shaving her kitty...I haven't seen any of the ones listed afterwards.
They must be regional.
