And now for something completely different...

I have a rant today that doesn't pertain to work..yeah..thought I'd change it up a bit. Maybe its cause I can't sleep, and maybe its the Ibuprofen percolating thru my system at present. I watch a lot of TV at work...mainly the FoxNetwork, and in between my fave shows, and noticeably at dinnertime, there are commercials that are played that are..to be quite honest...absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Take this commercial....opens with a chick in exercise clothes kinda looking embarassed, and finally blurts out.."I.................have genital herpes." Then they talk about the drug Valtrex, that may reduce future "outbreaks", even tho its "still possible to spread herpes to others". Dear Christ! Holy fuck man..is nothing sacred anymore? I mean can I for once sit down to a meal and watch my shows without having to listen to commercials about herpes, yeast infections, mestrual cramps, constipation, and bladder control problems? I think they need to have a channel especially devoted to those commercials man. When those commercials come on, I lose my appetite, and at times almost lose the portion of my meal I'd just ingested. And then I know its an actor doing these commercials but come on! What if you're like on a blind date..and the guy or gal goes.."You look familiar! Oh yeah! I saw you on that commercial for herpes/errectile dysfunction/Depends diaper ad".
Then theres another ad that may not be gross, but so irritating I swear I'll knock out the person that created it if I ever meet him. Its that "Head on"commercial.you know the one..heres the dialogue.."Head On..apply directly to the forehead..Head On..Apply directly to the forehead..Head On..Apply directly to the forehead." AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Pizzaslinger would like to say here and now that the best thing to be applied to commercial creators head is a nice heavy brick. Repeatedly, and with considerable force. How does your "Head On " work now, asshole? HAHAHAHA!!!
And then there are those commercials for baby diapers. Now I'm sure that sometimes these commercials are useful for parents who require a sturdy diaper for their rambunctios tot, but for single people such as myself..those commercials are simply nasty. They pour BLUE liquid in the diaper to show how absorbent it is. Okay..trying to spare me from realism? Too late..my mind is already running. SO it holds pee..but my mind is still working after the commercials over..thinking"Ok..so it holds a gallon of piss..how bout a gallon of runny diarreah? Then my mind thinks about how babies shits stink to high heaven..so smelly, you want to wear a protective suit from the Center for Disease Control, Level 5 to change the childs shitty arse. So now my minds gone too far, and am now ready to barf up everything I ate in the past 2 days. Geez! The same goes for pads. One commercial opens with a woman asking another woman in the drugstore "Do you find that your pad gets wet and sticky?" Oh Jesus please us!!!! Then the infamous blue liquid is poured into the latest pad with wings, and the woman who asks the question invites the other woman TO TOUCH THE FUCKING THING!!! What is wrong with this picture? Why don't they do a commercial about condoms then, where a guy asks another guy "Do you find your condom too tight and hot?" Then cut to a shot of a guy putting a condom on a banana or something. Actually..I'd laugh my ass off if they did that. Okay..cut to another scene where first guy invites second guy to "touch the banana". Lol!!! Okay..maybe not the greatest example, but I'm sure it would turn off the men. anyhoo..these commercials have got to go man...at the rate I'm going, I'll never be able to keep my dinner down ever again, and I'll waste away to nothing! So there you go...heres a blogger question..what is the most annoying/disgusting commercial you ever saw? Let me know! Gotta go. Cheers!

I can't think of any gross commercials you haven't already touched on. Quite a funny post by the way. Love the banana bit.

Those medicine commercials can be a little bit nausiating when you hear the disclaimers: May cause sleeplessness, anal leakage and itchy crotch. OR something like that.

If your erection lasts for more than four hours, seek medical attention. How would you like to be the receptionist in that office?
