Which TV commercials drive you nuts?
My choice for stupidest current TV commercial is one I saw today.

Two little girls, 7 or 8 years old, begging their handsome, thirtyish dad to use men's hair color to cover his few strands of gray hair. "PLEASE!!!!" they chant, in unison.

Puh-leaze, I say. These are supposed to be REAL little girls? Spare me. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

P.S. I don't watch a lot of TV, so I assume there are a lot more that are worse than my choice. But I got hooked in there tonight, watching the primaries.

2. The Ford commercial
Where the girl goes out with her friends and she's so mesmerized by the moon roof that she forgets to get out of the car. AND THEN they call her on the car's phone and she answers. Who answers someone else's phone???

5. And why would you rather peer at the sky through the moon roof
than go outside and see it for real?

11. and what genius picked out that Band of Horses song for that one?
I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
