heebiejeebie September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 I'm sure eHarmony wants me to watch that commercial and think, "Oh, how wonderful - eHarmony matches people so well they're still hot for each other after years of marriage," but instead I'm sitting there thinking, "So eHarmony puts ill-mannered people together, doubling the obnoxious factor and subjecting the world to uncouth pairings. Thanks a lot, creepy old dude." What makes me laugh after I once again get annoyed, is that the commercial is trying to convey a desired effect. Instead the two come off as two fetish-oriented people. Real adults. No matter how sexually attracted to each can exhibit self control in fact self control and privacy are elements of heightening a healthy sex life. But you know who can't "control" themselves you perverted Leering old Liar of an EHarmony Schiller in Chief? Rapists and perverts. So yeah. Good job matching the two future victims of the next Craigslist sexual predator. And the mussed clothes and lipstick all over the guy's face?

LoneHaranguer September 19, 2014 Share September 19, 2014 Liberty Mutual isn't unique in accident forgiveness either. Accident forgiveness just means that the company is charging enough up front to cover the costs of the claims they'll be forgiving. The alternative is to charge less and raise your rates if you have an accident, so that they can get their money back and cover future claims now that you've "proved" you're a risk. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/31/#findComment-391282

ethalfrida September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I hate that, after all the noise about how unhealthy e-cigarettes are, now there is an ad for some develped by "health specialists". The health specialists are no more than big tobacco getting in a a profitable market. E-cigs were an instant fix for my smoking habit of nearly 50 years. The minute the one I ordered was delivered I never smoked a real cigarette again. 30 days later I wasn't smoking the e-cig either. That was nearly four years ago and I've forgotten that I've even smoked! All I did was join the forum that covered all questions, brands and laws connected with them. The forum members were absolute geniuses when it came to usage. No matter what any "expert" who is against them says there shouldn't be that much concern over using them. It is a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine, and flavorings, while others release a flavored vapor without nicotine. This is not an advert for use. It's just that I hate it when consumers get taken for a ride and then the "driver" is the one who corrupts the product and issue. At one Los Angeles city council meeting some nut job parent stood up and said e-cigs were dangerous because kids will find a way to use them for illegal substances. That is ridiculous because kids, so sadly, use illegal substances without ec-cigs and they smoke real cigarettes.

SyracuseMug September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Currently the ad I hate most has a woman reading a magazine on the couch while the husband/boyfriend says something about the heat, and she replies (in a very grating tone) "I'm not turning down the thermostat." Then the guy pretends to cuddle her while trying to get the cat to swat at the thermostat controls, after which a lot of commotion ensues and the cat runs away screeching, breaking a piece of china or crystal. I loathe this commercial on so many levels that I don't know where to begin. For me the woman is no better than the Yoplait chick; and the man needs assertiveness training. It's certainly not a relationship I would care to be involved in. The Marie Osmond ad also drives me nuts. "I was fifty pounds overweight. I needed to do something, but what?" Every time she asks that question, I want to answer: "How about going to the gym and stop eating so much?" It's not rocket science. And my prize for the most disgusting commercial ever goes to a Quiznos spot from several years ago. A well-dressed man and woman in business suits are walking down the street in Manhattan. The woman sees a Quiznos sandwich wrapper in a trash can, and pulls it out to lick off the food residue. I just about hurled. I saw this commercial only once and never again, which isn't surprising, but it still left a lasting impression on me.

wovenloaf September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Can somebody tell me why this kid that looks at least 16 years old is wilding out in a friggin baby car seat? Yesterday I had to endure this piece of crap at least 40 times during a show I was watching and by the end of the show this girl started to look more and more stupid to me. She's the last one shown. http://youtu.be/F5PaVRO2O0U I hate this commercial to a really irrational level. Between the grating music, the stupid dancing, how old that last girl is, and how often it is played, I can't even handle it. The music/dancing for the last 2 girls makes me experience a special level of rage@#!

Cobalt Stargazer September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 A law was passed here overwhelmingly to ban e-cigs everywhere that real cigarettes are banned, bars, restaurants, even outside! This propaganda scheme to outlaw e-cigs was JUST THAT. It was and is bullshit. They were wailing that they were just as dangerous as real cigs with NO PROOF. There is, in fact, proof that they are NOT! I must state that I smoked for 25+ years, and I quit 8 years ago or so. I am just tired of organizations wanting to control other people's lives. My mother, who tried to quit smoking for approximately a thousand years, started to use e-cigs as a last resort because gum and patches didn't work. They helped her kick the habit, and now she doesn't need those either. Who are these people who succeeded in banning them, and how on earth did they get so much support? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/31/#findComment-399025
Brattinella September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Probably the same folks who are trying to get the idea of "Third-hand smoke" to float! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/31/#findComment-399050

That is really great for your mom! You know, some of us are like lemmings... put the info out there and some follow without question. The average hater is hatin' off of wrong information and hysteria created to detract people from making the effort. And e-cigs are so cool with all the great flavors and nicotine levels. When I ordered mine I thought it was an extension of the real cigarettes so I got menthol. But then at the forum found out about margaritas, Cowboy, chocolate, lemon, caramel, etc and had an absolute ball. Now I have a fridge full of those flavors and haven't touched them shortly after buying them. If anyone wants them you are welcome to them.

Brattinella September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 When I decided to quit, I used the Chantix for about 3 days before I never wanted to smoke again. Then, I used the Nicotine Lozenges (mint flavor 4mg) for about a year. Then, just quit totally. I see the ads for the e-cigs, and all the vaping flavors, makes me want to try them! Our local shop has 200 flavors! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/31/#findComment-399325
RealityGal September 23, 2014 Share September 23, 2014 Hmmm...not sure "the car seat industry for creating a need" is the problem here - it's more about those damn pesky state laws that require a child to be in a car seat until the age of 8 (up to age 12 in some states) or the height of 57 inches that seem to be the creator! http://www.dmv.org/ma-massachusetts/safety-laws.php Car seat lobbyists! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/31/#findComment-399474
ethalfrida September 23, 2014 Share September 23, 2014 Hi Brattinella, yep, those flavors will get you. I got mine online but lots of people use the smoke shops to buy them. I have the KR-808 ...
