Another stupid commercial was the AutoZone (I Think) or maybe advanced auto commercial that played during the entire TDF. About the boy who finds the car that says fix it and you can keep it. Ending with him saying "When I go atleast I don't ride my bike."

I have to agree this was stupid. Taking a perfectly healthy boy, working on his cardio with a bike, to rebuild a POS car so he'll never ride the bike again. Perfect, specially during the TDF.
Things to do this year:
Beaufort Road Race 5K 07.19.08 -- 25:40
Twin Bridges 8K 10.04.08 -- 39:53 PR
First Carolina State Bank Half-Marathon 11.22.08

Nothing is worse than those damned "have a happy period" ads. Yeah, I can guarandamntee ya' that no woman wrote that ad campaign. Happy period, my ass. Roll eyes A better campaign would be "buy this box of Kotex and receive a free pint of Ben & Jerry's."

Wow, kinda freaky that I just saw this topic. Literally less than 10 minutes ago there was a Jack In The Box commercial on TV advertising their new Pita Snacks. However, from my kitchen what I heard was "Try our new Penis Snacks"... followed by kids cheering. Shocked

What about those Bears that use Cottonelle? Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase....Does a bear $%&* in the woods? Apparently they do and they use cottonelle.


have you seen the new one with the baby bear running around with TP stuck to its ass?!? Hahahah!! I think those commericals are pretty cute. Makes taking a crap look nice and cute and cuddly. Like having TP stuck wiggling around in your crack should be considered fun, like a game.

Untrue, a while back Trent posted the best have a happy period commercial ever. I guess they could improve it by printing a Ben & Jerry's coupon on the back of the box.

It needs to be one of those peel off, sticker types or else I might hurt myself, or someone else, wielding my Letherman.

Love the idea too.

Cialis commercials where the couples always are in the separate tubs?


And the bathtubs are huge porcelain/cast iron tubs that are sitting on the beach. Who the hell carried them out there?
