I just get a place-holder where it should be

What player are they using? Some work (love the gorilla one), some don't.

It sucks that the US can't have ads this good.. here they are always trying to brainwash you. A common theme now is to make the product (DrPepper, for instance) obviously more important to the protagonist than ANYTHING else, preferably something sacred. In the DrPepper ad, to the tune of "I would do anything for love, but I won't do THAT," some guy (ugly as sin and amazing that he has this girl anyhow) does all sorts of crap for her.. buys tampons, etc.. but when she tries to take a sip of his oh-so-holy DR PEPPER, he screams, grabs it and runs out on her.

I find most commercials insulting.

[Fat Tone]

They don't all say "Hey Umf, stop being crabby". You only imagine that.

[Umfriend]

Indeed. Many say "You want it, you need it and you will feel happy if you spend money on me. You will feel happier if you spend it on me than on anything else. You should buy me not because of need, quality or suitability but just because you define yourself by what you buy and this is how you want to be difined".

Many others say "By this and I'll give you the best f*** / b*** j** you've ever had". Of course, you just end up with a lousy article and feel deprived. Misleading advertising that. Should be sued for it. In fact, had I the time and money, I would definatley sue, say, the supercat dolls (or what are they called again) for misleading advertising (promising sex but delivering a crappy CD) and demand them to deliver as promised.

Don;t get me started on advertising. I find most of them insulting. A pron star and a whore are more genuine than advertisements and don't **** with yer mind.

To cool down Umf, here's another one with a supermarket theme

[Umfriend]

I don't see why I should cool down. It's not like I am overreacting or something. That, BTW, AFAIK, is not a commercial, although it would, IMHO, have been a great one. Not saying they are all bad, just most of them. Very bad and very most.

[Fat Tone]

There's a simillar one here where the kids mother throws herself on the floor and pretends to have a tantrum. The look on her kids face is priceless

[Umfriend]

AFAIK, that IS a commercial. Might even have been inspired by the video BE linked to.

It should say, "use corporal punishment."
