We've all seen...and heard them. Those annoying cookie cutter commercials with a keyboard sound "typing" the words on the screen. Do these drive anyone else nuts? I mean, come on! These must be the bottom of the barrel marketing ideas, when they dont have the budge to actually give a damn. And they all do the SAME THING! They'll write something on the screen...then backspace and change a word...oh now it means something else! How original Big Grin

And most importantly...why do they always sound like a keyboard from 1983? You know, those commodore style keyboards that weighed ten pounds? Keyboards do not sound like that.

Okay, done venting lol. Tell me I'm not nuts.

I totally hear you, man. I always hate it when they zoom up on a graphic that says "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"

There's always more. I don't want more! Less is more! Baah! Mad

PLUS if you act now, we'll include the complete set of adjustable stainless steel tomato knives, ABSOLUTELY free; that's a $99 value!

Roll Eyes

what really bugs me, is when a major network (i.e. abc, cbs, not pax or discovery) shows commercials which are so low in quality they should be embarrassed to air them.

there really should be a quality control sort of thing, where NO MATTER how much you pay, you can't air your commercial shot on hi8, and depicting uncle frank yelling from across his chevy dealer, off rt. 9 in shrewsbury (which is where ALL bad commercials seem to come from around my areaBig Grin)

Since we are talking about commercials, I'll give a shameless plug for the commercial I made.

Commercial for Becker Homes

Tell me what you think!
