    @Dimples: I think it took me months to figure out what the hell she was singing about. Also, I don't even have Direct TV, and thus cannot "upgrade" with them. Genius marketing campaign, assholes.

    I vote Zyrtec for the reasons that they reference a song I don't know. They don't even play the song, just assume I know that ditty from the 70s or whatever. Flaw. In. The. Plan.

    I call shenanigans on anybody espousing vitriol towards the IO digital cable commercials. They are the most import commercials ever made of all time and if you dis them, you dis yourself.

    The Lexus holiday-time big red bow spots, anyone? I know they're infuriating EVERY year, but this time they've got CHILDREN at the start of all the commercials, telling you your greatest childhood christmas memories all pale in comparison to the joy of receiving a Toyota with the Lexus logo welded onto it at the last minute, with a giant red bow stuck to the roof with duct tape.

    @Guy_Whitey_Corngood: Every year -- every single fucking year -- I ask who the hell these ads are aimed at. Who the fuck gives cars as Christmas gifts? Not enough of the population to warrant constant rotation of those ads. And this year, especially, they're like a sick fucking joke!!

    Nothing, NOTHING on television can match the sublime horror of seeing this, stone cold sober in the middle of the night during a Daily Show rerun:

    @kat: Oh christ, I have seen this. For Christmas, all I want is for dear sweet little baby Jesus to descend to earth and explain this fucking thing to me. Is this for real????????? God it's terrible.


    Then I would like for him to erase every trace of this commercial from my mind and life.

    @kat:


    Cath as cath can?


    Yes, I did see this. Once. Learned a new expression.


    Why the need to crudely dramatize something most people don't want to hear about? And if you do, you don't need nonsense about sales people who are your "friends."

    Oh my God- It has to be the Hotels.com "Bubblebath" for me, because I only see commercials whizzing FF these days- I thought they were drinking that guys bathwater with straws, forever. It's still disgusting.
