Kooka_lives thanks for this post
The red tag commercial has to be one of the most insulting, moronic spots ever created. The Compaq one is close behind.
Hard to believe they do a lot of research for national spots.
Let stupidy reign. Let it pour!

Second, Kookalives, I am so right there with you on this topic!
How about the one where someone is or does something really dumb, then, to evade confrontation says, "Thank you?" at which point the confronter goes all gaga with gratitude that someone said thank you to them... And the kicker is, this bank has all kinds of ways to say thank you with free this and that... But the message I get is "We think you are so stupid, when we screw up your account, we're going to give you some free coffee and that will distract you completely from our incompetence!"

The majority of the population is composed of complete IMBECILES
...not to be mean, but statistically, the najority of the population is average and less than average, so the commercials are geared towards them...that is why I never watch them...okay, on rare occasion, I do condescend to do so.

Cattle, herd mentality
stampede--hurry up and get your Compaq and join the free ranging herd--or you too will be trampled under. Yeah, commercials are stupid--worse, they are violent!
A Bed Company thought it would be great to show a couple in a full size bed--apparently too small--when the loving hubby climbs in and goes to put his arm around his wife, she turns over and shoves him out of bed and onto the floor! OMG--they need more than a bigger bed!
I also was very disturbed by a popular underware company commercial which had a guy trying to get through an airport security screening. Two women security personnel didn't think he was a safe passenger, or, more to the point, they just wanted to see his body and had him summarily strip down to his underware. That is tantamont to rape, in my book. If it had been a woman passenger and male security gaurds, this wouldn't have been viewed as "sexy" but extremely abusive and using police like authority, rape of the worst kind.
There are too many commercials, too much consumerism. But then, we are a country full of mindless sheep following a Chimp who openly lies to the country and still gets elected as president, because he has the same "moral values" as the rest of the herd.
Phew!

we got the same red tag
commercial here too -- didn't have anything to do with cars.
really
left me flat.
but the companies pay big bucks for stupid commercials -- the ad companies are great salemen, don't you think -- they sell their customers the stupid commercials.
and it's gateway- the computer company
I think the boxes, being in the pattern of a Holstein cow -- that was supposed to be a herd of cows.
still stupid.
don't get me started.
beer commercials are some of the stupidest.
etc.
