Commercials

Most people turn the channel when a commercial comes on. Sometimes I do, but not always. I am lazy like that; however, some commercials really make me shake my head or just plain make me angry:

1) Dodge Journey commercial; these stupid black and white animated people and a dog are schleping it in a new Journey. There is this horrible, repetitive music playing and then the animated kid looks out the window at the viewer! He makes me so mad I want to punch his little smiling face.
2) These new Wendy's commercials with the skinny guy and the guy in the blue worker outfit who is always teaching the skinny guy something about Wendy's (very Karate Kid). Okay, they are ambiguously gay, enough said.
3) These new VW Routan commercials really piss me off. Stupid, washed-up Brooke Sheilds talks about how people are having kids just so they can drive the "German-engineered" minivan. Well, it is actually a Chrysler built in Canada. Where is the German engineering?
4) Toyota commercial for the 0% APR. They did a horrible remake of the 1980's song Saved By Zero by The Fixx. I hate when people re-make 80's songs.
5) The commercial where that ugly lady is in her dining room and the slasher movie guy is there with a chainsaw. The ugly lady tells the guy that he is really scary but she is going to block him from the TV so her precious, even uglier kids don't get scared. F*ck this $hit! How did she even have kids? Why are parents these days so damn protective of everything?
6) Saturn Red Tag Sale commerical; guy walks into the Saturn dealership and looks at the Vue and Sky roadster then walks out and looks at the Saturn sign as if he is in disbelief that Saturn could build these kinds of cars. First of all, the stupid idget surely would have done his homework before going to a dealership, so these cars should not have been a shock. Jesus Christ. And then it shows this man and this woman who are salespeople and they are like "Oh, it happens alot." First of all the bitch looks like a housewife-the kind that thinks she deserves a medal for bearing children. That commercial made me mad.
7) Ace Hardware commercials: there are several, it starts out with these Ace Hardware employees looking at a frazzled customer and then they have a flashback to when they also had a home improvement nightmare. Okay, 1) how the hell would someone working at Ace Hardware be able to afford a home. 2) the blond lady with the blue eyes that works for Ace, she looks Aryian or at least Mormon. Ever notice how many Mormons are blond? 3) nobody has customer service like that, if I walked in all frazzled nobody would come help, and if they did it would be a bored teenager ticked off at his paren't for making him work.
