bad enough that they are running already, but then add in bad ones...

for example that hallmark singing mr. and mrs. snowman nauseated me the first time and it's on all the effing time...
More later,
Tour...

    They're still there...only now they are "Infomercials". Ole Ron Popeil can probably be found 24 hours a day on those obscure cable channels cooking up some gross looking chicken in the "Showtime" cooker (like doro pointed out).

    I hope we don't have to see those Old Navy commercials. (I prefer to remember Morgan Fairchild like she was in that "B" movie erotic thriller "Seduction".)

    And on a side note...I hate the current line of Miller Beer commercials with that stupid voice over. In fact most of the beer commercials are so over the top trying to out do each other they are usually just bad...no longer funny...just stupid and BAD.

    I have begun to get extremely agitated at seeing or hearing the same commercials lately.

    Why, oh why, do I have to hear "Jared's, The Galleria of Jewelry" or "Shaw's Jewelry"....both with some brain rubbing song, 100 times a day on my local radio station. Its obnoxious, and I refuse to even think about going there to look for a damn thing.
