Bort September 12, 2015 Share September 12, 2015 I just saw a commercial for some flu medicine that pissed me off, not even sure why though. It was for a flu medicine for people over 60 and showed a bunch of couples in their 60's dancing and having a great time because, you know, they didn't have the flu. Okay, great so far. Problem? They are shown energetically dancing to 40's swing music. Hello morons making commercials for people in their sixties..some of them may have been BORN in the late forties, but they didn't grow up with big band music, this was the Woodstock generation. Show them rocking to Dylan or the Stones or something remotely nostalgic to the people you are targeting with your ad! Not sure why it pisses me off, is it pure laziness on the part of the commercial developers, is it arrogance, condescension, or do they just not even give a fuck about getting it right for this age group? Maybe they don't want to offend young people who listen to Zeppelin by acknowledging that their grandparents were the ones who originally made them famous. Who knows, it just annoyed the crap out of me. Heh, it's probably more of a money thing. I imagine the Stones or Zeppelin is a lot more expensive to use than something that is public domain (free). 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/116/#findComment-1498877

Maybe they don't want to offend young people who listen to Zeppelin by acknowledging that their grandparents were the ones who originally made them famous. Who knows, it just annoyed the crap out of me. I think people have a tendency to think of their elders from when they were young. So, when I was a child, my grandparents (a.k.a. old people) listened to big band music. Of course, the problem is I am now much closer to sixty. In reality, my parents would be in their late 70s/early 80s. Even they listened to more modern music. They were at least the era of Elvis (although I am always glad when Elvis is not used because I have an irrational, uncontrollable hatred for all things Elvis). My sister would have turned 60 in a year; her former husbands would both be in their early 60s. They were all rock fans. So yeah, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Dylan,they all fit. Also, many people don't just stop listening in their teens and twenties. They like some newer music too. I think the advertising execs don't want to face that they have aged so they hold onto this idea of "elderly" people who lived in a time long, long ago rather than not not much earlier than their own lifetimes. Just sayin, Jim Perdue, the word "antibiotics" has five syllables. Five. "Anabotics" is not a word. Maybe he really is trying to tell us they have never used some mythical substance called anabotics. They have, however, been pumping antibiotics into those birds until their blood is 90% antibiotics. Just a theory. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/116/#findComment-1499719

Yep, that was the scuttlebutt -- atheists either got "we can't match you" messages or, in fewer cases, got matched with ultra-religious people (in the hopes they'd convert the heathens, I guess). Two friends of mine, both atheists, who were dating at the time (they're now married), each filled out the questionnaire to see what would happen, after hearing those rumors.

I hate you for making me love it and feel benevolently towards you, regardless of how short the feeling lasts. I hate the fact that these commercials not only are doing what Walmart wants [encouraging the kids and parents to needlessly spend money on tie-in toys -which I dislike but I know that where they're wanting their bread to be more buttered ] but gives the impression that the impending movie is going to be every bit as warm, magical, and positive as the original, uncut "Star Wars" movie was back in 1977. However; the spoilers I've had foisted upon me via the media, etc. seem to point that the impending movie will likely be closer to the jaded, cruel,cold and cynical POV latter-day trilogy, novelizations, games, etc. have been and I hate that there's now a younger generation getting all hyped up to anticipate something that may be the opposite of what Walmart, etc. is hyping.

friendperidot September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 (edited) I might be a weirdo but anytime I see some kind of egg-wrapped-in-something business, I can feel my stomach cringe up. Fuckin' "breakfast burritos," man. I'm sure this is going to be a big disappointment to you, but I don't think we can ever be friends. I'll be friends, don't eat breakfast out because I hate eggs and coffee. Ads for all medications have lists of side effects that are horrible - there's one about deciding between pimples and death or diarrhea. And I think all the sleeping aids can cause hallucinations or doing weird things while asleep - I have bought things on EBay. Fortunately they were things I was looking at, but hadn't made up my mind about. And apparently last night I played a game on line - fortunately, a free one. Young children that cannot be understood by anyone other than their parents should not be in commercials, talking or singing.. I'm 60+, I like big band music for dancing, but it's not what I grew up with, I'm more a British invasion, folk music person that loves the 50s too (including Elvis). Back to topic, just what is Steven doing though out his life that his mother gets so indignant about. I get the teenager closing his laptop, but is he looking at porn while giving a business presentation also?

Cobalt Stargazer September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 I don't like the [Draft King] ad but if I won a million dollars I'd probably try to cram my whole fist in my mouth.

merylinkid September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 Good news (maybe), Congress Critter has called for an investigation of Fan Duel/Draft Kings to really question whether they are gambling. So far they have slipped under the radar because fantasy sports is about skill not luck. It's gambling if it is all luck based, but not if it is skill based.

TeapotDiva September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 Just saw AGAIN that commercial for Nissan Sentra (which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't deliberately looked this time to see which product is perpetuating this annoying ad) where the car's "Siri" tells this dude "She said 'Yes'; you're the best man" (do you know how many times, while half-watching the commercial, I wondered why Siri was the one picking the best man?!) and he smirks and says "I got this" and then proceeds to throw several over-the-top bro-with-money-but-no-taste pre-wedding celebrations, and at the end drives the bride & groom presumably to the reception, but with such a malevolent look on his face that who knows where he was taking them? (And can you believe that was All.One.Sentence? Yikes! Sorry.) Anyway. All I can say is, with that bowl haircut, you are so not "The Man," no matter what your license plate says! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/116/#findComment-1506074
bilgistic September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 Wait, what? Gambling includes both luck and skill, depending upon the medium (cards--skill and luck). The only gambling that I can think of that is purely luck-based is computerized slots with no holding. They can be programmed to be "luckier" or less so. Fantasy sports strikes me as skill with some luck. If a ballplayer is hurt and sidelined, that's bad luck for those who picked him, but good for those who didn't. Accidents are "bad luck".
