The right place? Naaaaah...
This stuff should probably go on my website instead of a blog. But, it's my blog and I can put whatever I want to...right? (Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure I want to put them here. Now I have a quandry....Damn it!)
My take on some commercials/advertisements out there:
Hardee's
This is the Midwest's name for Carl's Jr., and the makers of some of the worst fast-food on the planet. Their commercials generally feature this horribly irritating 'dead-pan' narrator taking a 'whatever' view of life in general. A few years ago, when the current ad campaign started, the idea was to fess up to making bad food and to show that they were sorry for trying to get by not caring what they were serving. They featured 'interviews' with various people (employees, patrons, executives, vendors) talking about how it 'was' and how it was changing and how bad it was and how good it is now. Every aspect of the campaign has made it so that I have now vowed to never again eat at a Hardees. That is not a good ad campaign...one that makes people not use your product out of spite.
Enterprise Car Rental
I hate the people. I hate the car all covered in brown paper. I hate that "Moose" thinks that two hot chix are gonna say "Lookin' good, Moose" because he's driven a rented Cadillac to his class reunion. I hate the music. I hate negro man who says 'They should be number one' and has the big foam novelty finger on. I HATE ENTERPRISE!
AFLAC
My God! Please, please, please do away with the 'duck'. It was, perhaps, cute at first. Perhaps. It is now the most annoying 'animal' on TV. Be gone...please, be gone.
TIAA-CREF
I don't know about the commercials, per se. But, shirley there is someone somewhere who could have come up with a better name for a company. I mean, seriously. Wouldn't "Joe's Investments" have been better? Anything?
Levi's
I'm not sure how I feel about the two Levi's commercials I see regularly. I like the one with the guy watching the news and seeing an 'on the run' guy stealing his pants. Of course, the hot girl on the couch in her underwear doesn't hurt. The one where the guy steals the pants off the balcony railing and then does whatever the rightful owner does (with Stevie Wonder providing the music) is a little too 'corny' for me. I HATE the one for Dockers with the words 'Weekend' 'Work' something something flashing over and over again. I think saying that you can wear Dockers no matte what you're doing. I hate the scene where he and his elegant lady-friend are running and laffing and laffing. She wouldn't run in those shoes!

My favorite commercials are Ditech.com.
"Lost another one to....."
I also enjoy being spanked with a hairbrush.
hey!
YOU NEED SOME NEW POSTS. WRITE SOMETHING.
when are you going to add something here?
The best commercial is the one for Carl's Jr (which is Hardees in the land of Felix - who knew?). Anyway, it is the one with the cows where the guy is shaking the cow and the Milkshake song is playing. That rocks :) I guess as a vegetarian, I should be against the cruelty to cows, but I like it and the cows don't seem especially bothered. I don't know what their food is like because I don't eat that crap. But the commercial is good :)
Now you have 2 people who have read your ramblings!
