"You know that song, Little Red Corvette? Well, I just bought some red lipstick."
"You know that song, Welcome to the Jungle? Well, I just ate a banana."
"You know that song, When I Think About You I Touch Myself? Well, ever since I've been using this lotion I can't stop touching my own silky skin!"

None of these ads have a chance against the antichrist version of 867-5309.

Follow these steps and learn how to identify trolls who impersonate Gawker commenters.
The user on this page going by the handle "Minsley Tortimer" is not the "real" or original Minsley Tortimer.
1. Go to the page where Minsley Tortimer was executed.
2. Click the link where it says Executed: Minsley Tortimer.
3. You will see that this users ability to comment is still not enabled.
4. Now, look at the URL of the real Minsley’s page. It should be this:
http://gawker.com/people/azoth/
Why azoth? Because that is evidently the user ID that the real Minsley Tortimer entered on registering several months ago. Now, click on the linked handle of the recent comments by the fake "Minsley Tortimer," and you’ll see that the URL of this user’s page is:
http://gawker.com/people/MinsleyTortimer/
Not the same URL = not the same user. The imposter stole the name and her avatar, but he cannot steal the username, and thus the URL is not the same. You can use this technique to ferret out trolls who impersonate other users on this or other Gawker websites. Simply find a comment that you know to be authentic, click the handle of that comment, and check the URL of the user’s page.
5. Question: Who is the user glitter.panda, who claims to be the real Minsley Tortimer? Answer: The same troll. By means of obfuscation, he hopes you’ll think either his "Minsley Tortimer" or "glitter.panda" is the real Minsley Tortimer. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re fooled.
A message to the glitter.panda et alia: I really don’t give a shit, actually. I’m just outing you for the lulz.

I'm in absolute agreement, except that glitter.panda really is Minsley--the real Minsley. But, yes, new Minsley is not the old Minsley.

I may have few number wrong - my brain implodes if I can't get the channel changed in time.

I'm not going to give them any publicity by posting, but the one where the guy sings the ditty about how he never should have married his wife because of her dead-beat credit history was really too much.

"Eight seven seven three nine three four four four eight."
The worst thing about this ad is that it lasts forever.

Also, HillsideHonda.com.

For these reasons, I feel no compunction pointing out: it's ten words.
