The Good And The Bad

I love the new Ikea commercial. The husband comes home ranting. His wife is standing in her beautiful Ikea kitchen and imagines her husband speaking in an accent saying the most wonderful things. Becky and I have already discussed this. We think this commercial must have been written by women. However the Sihlouette yogurt commercial must have been wrote by men. It shows no understanding on how women really think. If I am hungry I do not have to be good and eat their stuff. I want to throw something at the T.V. every time that commercial comes on! John is a good guy and mutes it for me every time it comes on. The Dairy Farmers of Canada add for cheese irritates me. Truth be known...it drives me crazy! I can't stand it! Any adds that feature a whole family sitting around and singing about food bugs me. MUTE! What ads bug you? Strike that question! I should ask...what ads do you like? Writing what you hate will take too long and probably upset you.






I am working full time all this week and next week. We are having summer weather. I am missing most of it. I need a pity party. Sihlouette yogurt is not part of it. I think some ice cream with Hearshey chocolate sauce slathered on the top would work. It will be a party of one.

I always wonder with commercials like that, where was the focus group? Where? And even if there was no focus group, how could ANYONE not realize that they were about to irritate all their customers?

I also wonder how you could post that on here? Now I'm irritated. You should have picked a good one, not a dumb one that makes me want to punch people.

I fixed that problem. If you don't watch TV, you don't see inane commercials. However, if I do find myself watching TV for some reason or another I mute almost all commercials. There are a few funny ones I enjoy. I used to love the one for a phone company where the grandmother floured her grandchildren. haha.
My daughter hates my muting of commercials. Even when she was little (under two) she loved commercials. She could be playing quietly in her room and a commercial would come on the TV and she would race into the living room to catch it.

Oh man. That commercial is a pretty annoying. This is why I want TIVO so badly, so I can just fast forward through them.

There are no commercials that stand out in my mind right now either good or bad. Guess I haven't been paying attention!
