    "A place for Mom"

    - is that why they made cemeteries? Dad goes there? IF this service or whatever was "A Place for Dad" we would have GMA ; Kelly and who or whatever having this on their show;  and all the soccer moms marching.  Still,,,, this service seems ok - no protests - only the cricket sound.  Makes me sick

    And then we have the OLD valentines day coming up - Dad gets a $89 drill from Menard s

    Mom gets a $6k diamond ring from Jared (another crock of feces holiday)

    Maybe it should be named a place for Them?

    Is there one tv ad out there that has NO FINE print associated with it (in other words a HONEST ad) Be it for whatever product or service; some greedy human and or org and or corporation?!  I swear every AD on tv is designed to :

    #1 Deceive you

    #2 Take your $$ like a circus carney and or lawyer

    Look at the forum numbers on this site - we have as of now 2K of consumers (with ?able IQ) that actually love a tv ad and then we have 655K that would pee in the office water jug at some Ad agency....go figure

    But the issue goes deeper than a love/ hate idiom - we pay for cable - why the hell make good and honest tv ads?  WE got the leech on our neck and it's called cable tv. They get our $$ (at obscene monthly rates) and throw them weekly (except for the cable/network negotiations) to the networks who will run catheter / adult diaper / soft sex ads / and toilet paper that shows if you're bleeding  and other ASSorted visual feces AD Nauseam.  We see the same irritating , deceptive ads over and over  and I thank the Supreme Being that I got a FF on my DVR control. We want torture in this country?  Strap a perp to a chair and let it watch tv ads non-stop for a month

    I cannot remember when I saw and listened to a tv ad in real time....maybe it was "WHERES the BEEF?!"

    And yet,  Vick's had a whole campaign back in the day using actors who played doctors to sell their cough syrup. "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV!" And that's supposed to make me trust your recommendation, because...? 

    All I can say about this addiction tv ad is that they are TRULY honest - They tell you that this 800 call is toll free.  Yeah I want to call up a stranger and empty out my closet full of skeletons.....

    Can anyone besides a owl or The Supreme Being read that fine print?

    We've got an 1988 Jeep with almost 400,000 miles on it, and still going strong. So it's possible. And our son has a 1982 Chevy that runs like a champ. Maybe they used to make them better.

    Yes and now "Hallowed Toyota" has to make "toyota care - a warranty" a selling point for their "reliable and DEPENDable" cars
