Madding crowd June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 I can't stand the new commercial for HomeAway (vacation homes). The story itself is ok, but the soundtrack is a woman singing which sounds like she is crying though the whole song. I've never heard a singer quite like that. One time Mr. Maddingcrowd came in and said "what is she crying about?" and it is odd cause it's supposed to be an upbeat commercial.

Lola16 June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 See when I worked in an office we knew far more about each other than practically our own families, including stomach troubles. Ucchhh, I have now seen the ad for Jamieson Digestive Care about a billion times in the last 2 weeks. I don't know about you, but when I worked in an office, I never talked about my tummy troubles with co-workers, and never said "I feel so Ucchhh!" with my hands on my midsection. I saw it once, and thought, I don't need to ever see this or hear that sound again (they say it about 8 times in the commercial), and now it seems it is on every channel at least once an hour. Make it stop. The excuse I always hear when presented with people behaving poorly in commercials is that it reflect society. I always respond, then let's reflect the society we want. #smh. I too know way too much about my fellow coworkers dietary and digestive habits. Not because I ask or care, but because we're now is some hideous open floor plan without even cube walls and there are people who just over share. Ugh. How about this? Instead of cramming all of these annoying assholes in a vehicle and sending them off a cliff, why don't we commandeer a cruise ship that's been infected with one of those stomache viruses, drop them on said ship via helicopter, and let them float off the end of the earth? Let's pipe in music to add to their misery - like that hipster douche Renegade song and Cholera's a Beautiful Thing. Hell, we could video tape their antics and have a reality show and get rich. I was going to suggest sling shotting them to Alcatraz and make it into a 'survivor' type of adventure but drifting cruise ship with no crew... sure...

LoneHaranguer June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 Yes, some will, but the "50% of recent grads arent' working " needs to be qualified. Because I think that statistic includes people who JUST graduated. It's considered normal to have a job lined up by the time you graduate. Colleges are measured by how many do, so they have employment people from companies come to campus rather than rely on student initiative. The more prestigious schools have the contacts to make sure practically all of their graduates are employed, even if they're no better educated than someone at a no-name school.

Everything You Need to Know About the Trivago Guy's Recent Makeover For months, commenters called [Tim Williams'] look everything from "disheveled" to "creepy," and a surprising number of people dressed up as him for Halloween. Really?! You're Not the Only One with a Crush on Trivago Guy When casting Trivago Guy, advertising execs intentionally meant to appeal to a female audience. "Women have a lot of ... purchasing power when it comes to leisure travel," says Jon Eichelberger, regional manager of Trivago North. So while sites like Priceline.com and Booking.com launched commercials geared toward young men, middle-aged men, and men who dig William Shatner, Trivago attempted to gain a competitive foothold by casting someone who might tickle heterosexual women. Great. Now rather than pointing, I"m picturing Trivago guy tickling. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/84/#findComment-1227059
