Some more things that annoy the shit outta me lately...
Thought I'd run the gamut of annoying commercials..here's another one that was, admittedly, cute at first, but after I'd say, two days, it started to really annoy me. Its those stupid "Old Navy" commercials. The one that really sucks is the chick who's standing there blowing a bubble with her chewing gum, and lo and behold begins her ascent into the stratosphere while a bunch of people jump up and grab hold, so at the end of the commercial there are 10 people linked like the game Monkeys in a Barrel, as they float skyward. In the background is this song, enticing the viewer to "Get their 'Fash On'". Okay, now this commercial annoys me on several different levels...Never mind that the chick doesn't exhale helium, and enough at that to lift her 100 pound body off the ground, or the fact that at the end of the commercial, the fuckin bubble is larger than an SUV..which means she'd have to have been chewing at least 100 packs of gum. Its the fact that the people clinging to her legs look like desperate groupies...and don't appear to be alarmed that some chick is FLOATING periously high up in the sky, and any moment the bubble could burst, hurtling her to the concrete, and causing grievious bodily harm. And they want to join her up in the sky..perhaps all these people are all planning to commit a mass suicide in a grisly manner in the middle of a bustling city? Reminds me of lemmings jumping off a cliff. And the most annoying thing about this stupid commercial is the fucking song...is this commercial creators intent to invent a new slang word? Believe me.."Fash On" is not going to join this Strangers vocabulary EVER....and Pizzaslinger says if someone dares to speak it in a sentence (especially if the person is white) she'll sucker punch the individual into next week.
And while we're on the subject of FASHION (that is how its spelled!)..I really hate seeing clothing with the clothing company's name emblazoned across it. I'm the type of person who refuses to be a free walking billboard for these multi-millionaire companies who hire slave labor in 3rd world countries. If they want me to wear their clothes with their logo in plain sight...then they can pay ME. Why should I pay over 50 bucks for a shirt, and then advertise to them so they can make more money? Fuck them! They can kiss my arse! Hell..I'd rather make my own clothes!
And still on the subject of advertising....why is it wherever I look, I see fucking Movie stars hawking shit like clothes, cell phones etc? You know..this never happened 5 years ago..Now they're all over the place...and you ask.."Now Stranger..why would that bother you?". I'll tell you why..cause they take all the good commercials away from those actors who want to make a name for themselves in the industry, and the unknowns are relegated to doing the fucking Herpes commercials to make ends meet...The movie stars have enough money. I think the stars should do the Herpes commercials..hell they're so well known that no one would believe it to be real anyways. And I don't give a shit how fabulously Nutrisse or Loreal works for these stars hair, or how it covers their grey..hell for all I know, they have enough money to buy themselves new heads every year! How does it work for a person who doesn't have an arsenal of stylists, dressers, makeup artist, lighting experts, and professional photographers? HMMMM?
Anyhoo..I'm sure that my Blogger family has seen more commercials that make you want to vomit..especially my fam out in the States, and overseas. It doesn't have to just be a commercial on TV...it can also be in print or located on the Internet. Please share...its nice when people join in on the rant! Well, must go for now...chime in! Peace!

My husband and I love to pick apart movies and commercials. We love to spot errors too. Sometimes we just look at each other and say "it's just a commercial" and move on. The thing that bothers me about that commercial is that I find myself singing "Get your fash on" after I've seen it. ARG!
I think that Old Navy commercial is a ploy to get kids to take meth. I hate feminine product commercials. I am not a prude I just find the tampon talk in poor taste around dinner time.
Products I don't need to hear about:
Genital Herpes
Feminine Products of all kinds
Depends Adult Under Garments
Diarrhea or Constipation
Hemorrhoids
If I need any of these things, I think I'm smart enough to discreetly seek out the solutions on my own.
My favorite commercial is the one about a telephone with 'theft deterrent'. If you've seen it you know what I mean.
