Similarly, I heard a news item last night about Michael Jackson's death. The newscaster said one side was saying his doctor killed him, but the other side was saying that Jackson actually killed himself and then blamed the doctor. What did he do call "long distance"???

I can't believe first that someone would come up with some of the stupid/insulting/distasteful approaches to selling a product but then someone above them actually approves it. Must be the same people that pull the genuinely good TV programs and leave the rest of the trash on for years. Ann in TN
Yeah, I agree. Having been in marketing for a while, I know there are lots of meetings where they kick around ideas, and those horrible commercials were the best of the bunch!

It is a ploy to get you to pay attention-to stand out in whatever will help make their point.

Thank goodness for the mute button.

Pat always mutes the "Expedia" commercial with the over-the-top guy from Project Runway. Tim Gunn or something like that - he says the guy's voice drives him batty. I mute the commercial for Kit Kat. Bad enough when they sing that stupid jingle but now they munch and crunch in the rhythm of the jingle. Makes my skin crawl.
