When it comes to the drug commercials - close your eyes so your not looking at the happy people and listen to the 30 seconds of side effects, some are down right scarey. Heart problems, headaches, mood changes, chronic fatigue, may cause cancer and death. Sure I really want to ask my Dr to make me sicker than I am already.

I do like the Geico commercial with the Gecko, I did not like the ones with the cave men.
Do any of you remember the Jax beer commercials from the 50's? That may have been a local beer, I lived in Nashville, TN a the time. I thought they were funny.
I think they should ban all femine products, ED products, prescription drug, and lawyer commercials from TV. And other commercials should pass the good taste test, where it does not give children the wrong message.

How about the one where the husband has trouble with his computer and was going out to get an antivirus to run. His wife told him she could help; just go to PCmatic.com (or something like that). It works, he thanks her, and she said she's going out with her girlfriends and needed the car anyway. She grabbed the keys and he screams "HONEY" and looks bewildered. I think that one is stupid.

First of all, the ad is made to grab the viewer's attn and boy, see how some of the worst have done just that? Everyone sure remembers their least favorite and the product it tries to sell. On the whole, I hate having to watch commercials because there seems to be more of them than the actual program I want to watch. But,some are cute---Like the "My Name is Peggy" and the one with the little guy in the high chair who says "No" when asked, "Do you want more money" and then throws his cheerios.
