some commercials are really stupid

The truth is that I don't actually watch that many commercials any more, what with the most wonderful invention of DVR. But sometimes it can't be helped, and in those cases, these are a few of the commercials I could definitely live without.

1. Zyrtec time in a bottle ad. It really bothers me when that lady says, "it should say that on the bottle: ingredients: 2 hours you didn't have." Think about it. IF Zyrtec gives you 2 hours you didn't have (and that's a strange concept in itself), then it shouldn't be on the ingredients list, but the effects list. Thanks for trying, Zyrtec.


2. Cash4Gold. Are these people so hard up to find people to promote their product that all they could find was that old woman with the crazy lipstick--"I had no idea my gold jewelry was worth so much!"? And seriously who feels okay about sending their valuables to some random company and expecting a return on it?


3. Enzyte. If anybody likes to watch SVU on USA on weeknights, then you have probably seen this commercial. I hate these commercials almost as much as the corresponding spam I get in my inbox. But what I really don't understand is why Santa is selling it? In September? Seriously.



I do apologize for subjecting all viewers to these commercials. Hoooooorraaay for DVR!!!
