Tom Holmberg April 24, 2023 Share April 24, 2023 Boy, do I hate those U.S. Money Reserve ads. They are like 4-5 minutes long and they'll run them in every commercial break in a show. I esp. dislike the one where if you had a certain amount of gold in 1976 and the same amount in money (which you hid in your mattress, apparently) you'd have so much more money today than if you just let the money sit uninvested. 1 1 3 Link to comment

mojoween April 25, 2023 Share April 25, 2023 An ad for some sort of SUV caused the hubs and I to shout in indignation at the same time. This lady is just flirting with disaster at every turn as she attempts to continuously drive into traffic, but the car stops her. At the end, she is letting her kid out at the park and he almost bolts out into oncoming traffic but the car stops him again. She was right next to the park! Why is he getting out on the traffic side? Does this park not have a parking lot? I didn’t see another kid in the backseat, so I’ll just fanwank that there is a baby carrier there. Otherwise she is not teaching that kid correctly because he should have gotten out on the passenger side. 5 2 Link to comment

Tom Holmberg April 26, 2023 Share April 26, 2023 (edited) In re: Colonial Penn's $9.95 Plan. If you are a 75 year old male, the benefit of this plan is $560, which means that after the first two years, you've already sent them almost half your benefit. If you are a 70 year old male the benefit is $717 or a 50 year old male $ 1786. Frankly you'd be better off putting $9.95 in an interest-bearing bank account every month.

Based on people who win the lottery probably a lot. Apparently its very common for them to blow all their money. If the settlement is due to some kind of injury that prevents a person from working it might be useful (but again, many people get money and spend it right away).

I fully support feeding one's animals, but I hate the commercials for overpriced stuff like this because it tends to make those who can't afford it feel like bad pet owners. Same with those shitty Blue Buffalo commercials. Which actually have to include disclaimers saying that the brands they're criticizing provide balanced nutrition for your pets, but they put it in really tiny print because they want to sell you their overpriced stuff. Honestly, buy what you can afford for your pet. Most commercially available pet food produced in the US is nutritionally sound and balanced and safe. (Now, the stuff coming in from China, yeah, skip that.) 15 hours ago, dleighg said: I mean, I keep half cans of wet catfood in the fridge with a lid on. Is that "keeping pet food in the fridge?" Doesn't everyone do that? I don't anymore because my cats don't like their wet food to be cold. They want it room temperature. But there's nothing wrong with keeping the properly sealed package in the fridge. Honestly both people in that commercial are so over the top that it's ridiculous. 11 Link to comment

What distracts me in the commercial is how he keeps moving the spoons around to toss the salad -- they barely touch the vegetables. 3 1 1 Link to comment
