    I agree. That is one of the ugliest commercials I've seen. HATE it. Do not see how they really think this will promote their products at all.

    THANKS for this thread! I've been complaining about commercials for 2 years. DH almost had me convinced that I was developing a mental disorder of some sort. Glad to know that I'm not alone.

    As we talked about this some time ago and wondered if it would do us any good. From the day after this was posted I have not seen the two AT&T with the awful woman or the couple saying which child the loved the most. Hav any of you noticed it in your area? Maybe we did some good after all.

    That is the worst one of all. I tell my DH that doesn't make me want to buy one of those phones. That line was unneccessary to whole commercial. Having her question where the $$ is coming from is ok, but her other line was way off base. And He was saving money. But her line took that out as the emphasis. Badly done. Horrible.

    Another one I can't stand is a toilet paper commercial that I can't remember the brand. They ask in a very wholesome way, "What do you REALLY want from your toilet paper?" If they don't know what I want from my toilet paper, they have no right manufacturing the product.

    I also can't stand commercials for anything called a "cracker-chip." There's no such thing as a cracker-chip.

    I know I am getting old, because I am absolutely appalled at some of the commercials. Too many commercials about sexual problems. The one that I really object to is for a sex toy from Trojans. Sick of looking at women in underwear, commercials for Tampax, jock itch, erectile dysfunction, on and on. Geeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    MY DH does the same...I don't know if he's bored or just hates commercials. It drives me nuts when he does that, so I leave and find something else to do!

    More than you ever wanted to know, and didn't really ask for...
    They're doing Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" !!! Great guitar rifts by Randy Rhoads. (But of course, everything Randy Rhoads did was great.) First release together after Ozzy went solo and Randy left Quiet Riot.
