All snark aside, the Hyundai program is a hell of a good marketing campaign right now. I think you have to have paid at least as much as the car has depreciated, so it's not like they're losing any money; and who feels secure enough in their job right now to actually go out and buy a new car without this sort of offer? The second I see the same program from Volvo, I'm buying a damned XC70.

I think I heard the phrase, "Now, more than ever ..." more times during the Super Bowl than I did during the last ten years.

@SouthCNorthNY: "Now, more than ever, Kurt Warner is really, really happy that Matt Cassell likes to party in hot tubs with 19 year olds."

"Now, more than ever, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a third and seven at their own 22."

Apparently zero wasn't enough to save people.

@uninspired: Haha. At least the recession did away with that ad campaign. Now if only the good people behind "he went to Jared" could start feeling some of the effects.

@Yetused: That guy's not Obama.

THIS GUY is Obama.

Seriously, when they cast the biopic, Lennix has it sewn up.

I don't care. These are all better than the Shamwow ads with the meth addict spokesman.

@DennyCrane: The part I hate the most about those is when those two fat white trash ladies say "all I can say is... sham-WOW!" as if they invented some sort of hilarious bon mots, when all they did was say the NAME OF THE PRODUCT WITH DIFFERENT EMPHASIS. It seriously makes me want to kill somebody that they're so proud of themselves. The stupid fat frikkin ball sacks.

@DennyCrane: how slimy is that guy? And wouldn't the Shamwow be un unheard of luxury during a recession? The Snuggie I can see --if your heat has been shut off, but the Shamwow? Don't buy them, people! He's using your money to buy druggggggs!

Cannot stand the lower middle ad - "the economy's so bad, even the trees cannot afford leaves."

"We know you can't buy anything right now, so just sit there glumly while we remind you of that fact."
