Commercials that unintentionally make the wrong point (Read 566 times)

	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.

	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. 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.

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.
