Commercials that Suck

The theory behind commercials, whether print, TV or radio is that the commercial is going to make you want the product or service more.  But why don't people stop buying products when they have really crappy commercials?  Personally I am not going to stand for it.  If some company comes out with some lame, shitty, unfunny, sappy, or otherwise lacking any reedemable value ad for one of their products I will boycott that product.  Fuck them.  If they're going to spend millions of dollars trying to get me to buy something that I can't afford the least they can fucking do is make it a good commercial.  Screw you Madison Ave ad wizards, you suck.

Here's a list of shit that I won't spend money on:

McDonalds:  This one was particulary hard for me to give up since I love fast food.  But it got really easy after I saw my third "I'm Loving It" ad on TV.  I have honestly never seen an entire ad campaign  is so incredibly annoying and where they cater there "I'm Loving It" song to every sappy, imaginationless commercial.  The latest one with that dumb kid sneaking out back to eat whatever god awful fake steak sanswhich that McDonalds has created in conjuction with Exxon is the worst. And know what I hate most about the commercial?  Its not the idea that McSuckald's sandwich is better than a real philly cheese steak but its the fucking kid.  The look on his face, the way he wiggled his fingers and most of all the way he shuffled his damn feet while sitting on a box.  What a wiener.  He's right up there with that Dell kid.

Maddox's Opinion on "I'm Lovin' It"

Circuit City:  I hated that commercial where the dorky guy in glasses is buying presents, and when the nerdy girl scans them it sounds like the song jingle bells, and than the dork does the worst job of completing the song.  I can't say for sure how to classify the noises he made.  It wasn't singing. It definately wasn't humming.  I think he may have gotten a prostate exam in the middle. But he's one of those guys that enjoy prostate exams.

Any Dodge vechicle.  I was going to at first limit this only Dodge trucks with a "hemi" in them but I thought to myself, "WHY?"  What does Dodge make that you would want?  Possibly, when I'm 45 and have a 17 year old daughter maybe I'll get her a dodge neon like every other teenage girl has.   But thats over 20 years to worry about that.  And Dodge is lucky its just getting a 20 year boycott.  Those hemi commercials are ridiculously awful.  Either they have some annoying bumpkin red neck yelling or fantasizing or that douche red headed soccer mom marrying man.  I hate him.  Like that guy would know anything about engines.  He probably confuses the semi in his pants for a hemi.  And you know what the worst part is in that one commercial he starts to burn his glove and throw it in a cooler to pull out a "soda".  Why wasn't that a beer?  I can't think of a good reason why its not a beer?  But again I'm not the genius who came up with the idea that two 30 year old good old boys flipping burgers could sell trucks.
