You've seen them and you rage at them. Commercials that are stupid or insulting. What are some of your "favorites" and how should they have eventually ended?

My top two; the commercial with the little girl, the lemonade stand, and the cell phone. I can see the end is her in front of a grand jury trying to explain why she didn't have a business license or didn't pay corporate taxes.

The commercial for Korean Airlines with all of those giant, shallow, self absorbed jet setters. Though I would like to watch a giant stewardess step over me.

GEICO commercials
Progressive Insurance commercials
Any political commercial - can you think of anything more insulting?

I don't watch TV. But I am tired of popups everywhere on the internet. And spam. At least when I was younger I got ads promoting Russian wives, now I get ads for Viagra and hair replacement therapy.

COG you might want to run a scan on your computer as they may be targeting you specifically to "meet your needs."

hahahahahahaha

I might like to Rapture tomorrow. Since you are used to it could I give you all my blame so that my actions are all your fault?

theres another one; Cici's pizza. The mother with her family saying that her team all want different things and she is not a short order cook. Why doesn't she do like my mother and just cook something, serve it and if you don't like it then you go hungry.

cymbalta, too depressing. Church's chicken, uses stereotypical minority families. That said, I find local news and their teasers, especially with weather annoying and insulting to anyone above 4th grade level.

Reminds me of this bit from Kentucky Fried Movie.

Kentucky Fried Movie! What was his name....Mark Slade, former tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Who comes with this instructional recording and will sexually satisfy your woman. He has been satisfying women around the world for over 10 years.
