I don't have anything against the Dell kid. He is funny, in a goofy sort of way. However, he does look evil when he raises his eyebrows.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! You nailed it. Accident Fund Company has the absolutely most annoying and stupid, a twofer, ads in existence. They sponsor my local colleges football and basketball games and I have to listen. I hate them.:^|

Better yet. Any commercial that would use Kelsey Grammar, Rosie O'Donut or Penny Marshal s#cks.

>>>The Verizon guy, by a mile.<<<

Yes but it's becoming part of the American lexicon. At the demolition derby the other night the PA system was on the fritz, during each garbled transmission you could hear someone yell
"can you hear me now?"
Lol.

If you're going national then I have to go with the Dell guy. If you want to include local ads then ask anyone in the KC area about Ray Vincent and his mortgage company.

...and, yes, I know, that me actually knowing the name of the Video Professor defeats my whole argument, but I only remember because I was amazed at how often he said "my product."

Well, I've seen the damned thing approximately 60,000 times and I don't remember the name of it, so I guess that proves your point. :)

I read somewhere that they sell those things for over 30 dollars a pop. That's after your "free" first CD, which costs $6.50.

I really have to wonder if they actually thought about how irritating it would be to hear that phrase over and over and over for months on end. Then again, it does make one remember the name of the company.

Indeed. Chinese torture style: listening to his own commercials.

xsbrownie was doing a craft at the kitchen table and got up to do who knows what, no one else was in the room but xspup. He was intrigued by the idea of painting the family room rug in bright poster paints so he went frolicking about in there. i was very nearly divorced that evening...
