[Jack Black]

Anyone else offended by these ads.

[sine_nomine]

Yes. They are vulgar and stupid.

[Dales]

I think the ads rock. Funniest on the tube right now.

[hombre_sincero]

Stand by for all the "chill out"; "you've led a sheltered life"; "get a life" etc etc etc --- and this is supposed to be the CONSERVATIVE group.

Morality, decency, and manners are in rare supply these days.

[noblejones]

I think they are the best ads ever made. And danged accurate.

[RWR8189]

I saw the ad...

Not really offended...

In fact, I didn't find anything offensive about the ad at all..

[martin_fierro]

For example.

[ovrtaxt]

I think it's pretty low of them to broadcast that term all over the TV. Yet another example of us having to tell our kids that just because the rest of the culture has lowered their standards, we won't.

It happens more and more as time goes on. There's not much on TV that we can just let them watch without supervision.

But let them say it. I just won't ever buy a product from them. Ever.

[DouglasKC]

Not as offensive as the "You bet your sweet aspercream" commercials.

[birbear]

"sucks" has never been profanity where I lived/went to school...


And I went to a Christian school...

Dunno what to tell you.

It's not particularly a big part of my vernacular, but it certainly isn't offensive to me.

[gidget7]

Not as bad as Bravo, you can't watch the network, ever, no matter what might be on, cuz the ads are nauseating. And FOX61, here in the NE, their latent has ads for sex hotlines, which I am not wild about anyway, but I will never watch late night on the station again. Last time I did they had a 900 number ad, for men looking to hook up with men! GROSS!!!!!!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Actually, I think it is kind of funny.

There is a really odd one (I think it is for wireless service, I have only seen it twice)...but it has the same actor, portraying an old man, ayoung woman, middle aged man, etc. He/she is standing in front of a cookie cutter suburban tract house, with basically the same vehicle in front each time. His/her last line sums up the service plan as being very individual...and that 'anything the same would just be creepy.' It really is funny...

[injin]

I have been writing DishNetwork for months about these stupid adds . Many many times . Usually they don't reply , but once in awhile they to reply that which adds are run , and how often, is not up to them. Something I do not believe.
I have threatened to go back to cable . I suggest all others tell them the same thing and if they don't get in gear about reducing these dumb adds there should be mass flight to the cable companies instead of Dish Network.
As for the 'my TV sucks" add ; man! they have alot of room to talk! DishNetwork and their lame ,stupid advertisements
definitely suck! Big time.... tell um folks.

[wimpycat]

It's not exactly a sexual reference. Haven't you heard about somebody being as low as an egg-sucking dog?

[Artemis Webb]

Um...no. In fact I think they are funny.

I once knew a woman that was offended by the Keebler Elves commercials because to her the words "elfin magic" sounded too much like "f'in magic".

You need to get a life.

[Melas]

Sucks is a bad word now? Hell, in grade school "Go suck an egg" was a popular insult because you couldn't get in trouble for it.

[muawiyah]

The Dish Network advertisements are cute. The Cox Cable advertisements are crass and vulgar, particularly the double entendres.

[xcamel]

No.

Vacuums Suck

Suction pumps Suck

The vacuum of Space Really Sucks

Baby mammals Suck

The MSM Also Really Sucks

The Dish Network adds Rock

[Servant of the 9]

The adds aren't vulgar, your mind is.

Grow up.

So9

[razorback-bert]

No, have you hear about Rock & Roll yet?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Actually, what I DO find insulting are the Viagra/Cialis ads. Do they really need to mention that 'you should see a doctor if you have an erection for over four hours.' I think that would bring up waaay more discussion with the kiddies than a TV set sucking the dishes off the dining table.
