This commercial is incredibly stupid... well, more specifically, the daughter in this commercial is incredibly stupid. Apparently, this family lives near some uppity neighborhood (like San Francisco¹) where driving around in “non-hybrid” cars is incredibly uncool. The daughter tells her dad to drop her off a block away from her intended destination (the theater, ooooooh, wonder what movie she’s going to see... An Inconvenient Truth maybe?).

It becomes clear that their car is a hybrid (as indicated by the word “Hybrid” clearly emblazoned on the back of the car). Clearly, this guy’s daughter is an illiterate moron (I hope the movie she’s going to see doesn’t have subtitles). Her father has to tell her, “well, this is a Hybrid”. And she’s surprised, and asks why he never talks about it. Maybe because he’s not a snotty piece of crap, and doesn’t need to talk about it. Maybe because he assumed you could read, and would’ve realized at some point during ownership of this vehicle, that it SAYS Hybrid on the back (and who knows where else).

Given the writer’s strike going on right now, you’d think this commercial was written post-strike by some scabs. What a ridiculously retarded commercial. What pile of crap ad agency wrote this nonsense? And what morons at Ford thought to themselves after being pitched this garbage, “Yeah! This is totally how suburban families behave. I know I had this same exact conversation with MY daughter just last week! I love it! Let’s film it and get it on the air! We’ll be selling Escape Hybrids like hot cakes in NO time!”

¹ Anyone see that episode of South Park?

Oh... My... God...

You have GOT to be kidding me... Besides the fact that this “ad” is ludicrous, the idea of a Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper sounds pretty gross.

I guess Tay Zonday’s 15 minutes aren’t quite up yet, although, they should be after this...

I recently purchased a new HD camcorder and this video marks my directorial debut... a film I call “Stuffed Animal Chase”. The film is 8.9 seconds long, so don’t blink, or you might miss a critical part and the ending will leave you wondering, “What the hell happened?”

Without further ado, I present to you... in Hi Definition and Dolby Digital Surround Sound... Stuffed Animal Chase starring Ellie the elephant and Rainbow the gay bunny...

This stupid commercial for Mike 93.7 FM has been on TV here in the Boston area for quite a while now. I absolutely HATE it. Everytime I have to sit through it, I want to kill myself. What the hell is the point of the commercial? The video content doesn’t align at ALL with what they’re advertising. It’s not like their tagline is “Mike 93.7, makes you get naked and dance with your co-workers!” or “Listen to Mike 93.7! It’ll infect you with Naked Dancing Syndrome!”

Why the hell are people in an office setting stripping down to their skivvies and dancing to horrible pop music? After seeing this commercial, WHY would I want to listen to Mike 93.7?! Nothing in this commercial sells me on the station, not even the pregnant woman whipping off her top as her belly flies around the screen, which is actually slightly creepy to me... WTF?!

Blech...

Damn the latest iPod commercial! Ever since I first saw it, I couldn’t get that song outta my head. I eventually figured out that the song is called 1234 by an artist named Feist. I really dig this song, and every time I see the commercial, it’s in my head for hours. I also dig the video for the song. It’s kinda unique and fun to watch. Check it out below...

The interesting thing here is that I unknowingly knew a song by Feist already. A little while ago, a friend of mine told me to listen to a song called Gatekeeper. I listened to it, and aside from thinking she was saying Gaykeeper, I thought it was alright. Fast-forward to a few days ago, I was chatting with this same friend about how I love this 1234 song, and he goes on to tell me that it’s the same artist that sang Gatekeeper. I’m all like, no way dude! Oh-mah-gawd!

Gatekeeper too mellow for ya? Try the slightly more upbeat remixed version!

Clearasil has caused some controversy with a recent series of ads, with the tag line “Clearasil may cause confidence”. Apparently many parents are outraged with the ads, and don’t want them airing anymore. I’ve seen a bunch of them, and personally I think they’re fine; clearly, intended to be humorous, and not advocating anything. There was one, though, that I found slightly disturbing (the one embedded below). While I’m not offended by it or anything, I just think it’s weird and creepy.

I think everyone needs to just relax and freak out about things worth freaking out about. Not harmless Clearasil ads. It’s ludicrous how sensitive people are these days. Anything and everything is cause for censorship nowadays, and it blows my mind.

CHILLAX¹ PEOPLE!

Anyway, check out the commercial, and let me know what you think...



¹ God I hate this word...
