Any commercials for pharmaceuticals. My Dr. does too. I wonder how many billions they spend on ads that could go toward research or lowering the costs.

Sometimes people just don't think. And lots of people don't really know much about twins, they just assume most are identical when really most are not.

Back in the 70's, my sister (now in heaven) had a daughter that was 4 1/2 months older than mine, except mine was premature and much tinier, she had taken them both to town when they were about 3 or 4 years old and someone said to her, "do they both have the same father"! She just laughed and said "NO"!

Don't like that one either! So bossy lady!

Yeah! I heard that too! I am always correcting everybody on tv and my husband gets so disgusted at me! If they would just proof read before reading! Gosh!

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.

I simply can't stand the one about Peggy! But I love the one with the baby and his cheerios!

SadieMarie, you make me laugh! Unfortunately, there probably are some who need the "2" clarification.

I do like the Toyota ads where the young kids are trying to get their parents on Facebook or worried about them not being the fun parents. I guess it rings true! As much as I like Mike Rowe , I think the Ford ads are mean spirited. They strike me like political ads do, attacking someone else, not saying why THEY can do.

I always want to smack her for being so mean and unfeeling.

I think the commercial that makes me want to vomit, is the one where they are outside...and all the sudden...it's time to walk very lovingly...hand in hand...upstairs (because the time is right), because of some medicine he took! REALLY?!? I don't care if they are ready or not. S T U P I D!
