McDonalds thought it might be a wise idea to have a woman in their commercial whose body structure resembles that of Brian Urlacher.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

This is just the shortened version of the longer commercial, which includes a voiceover and several demonstrations. The full length commercial is 1,000 times worse.

I saw this for the first time last night and my jaw was agape at how truly awful it was.

EDIT: Here's another version of it....

I will also chime in and say that Haribo Gold Bears are a superior gummy bear to any and all other brands. I normally pick a bag of them up for a buck at a gas station; they're infinitely more affordable than any of the 5-6-7 dollar candy that movie theaters try to sell you.

Mio's ingredients are basically 100% artificial. It's like squirting concentrated awfulness into your water.

Case in point:

quote:

Water, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Malic Acid, Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium (Sweeteners), Potassium Citrate, Red 40, Blue 1, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative).

* Propylene Glycol is a clear and slightly bitter liquid that is used to prevent discoloration of foods during storage. It has been shown to cause various diseases in animal studies when consumed in large quantities.

* Acesulfame Potassium is a fake sweetener that is potentially carcinogenic.

* “Natural Flavor” with fake colors to cause you to imagine the berries depicted on the package. Unfortunately those artificial colors may cause cancer and hyperactivity too.

* Last but not least, potassium sorbate is a mold inhibitor – it allows this product to sit on a shelf for months.

I grew up outside of Detroit, HQ of Little Caesars pizza. Mike Illitch, the LC CEO, owns the Tigers and Red Wings, and profits from his pizza company went directly into funding those two franchises, so I always did my part and occasionally bought LC pizza for nearly 20 years.

It wasn't the greatest pizza, but it was inexpensive, so it was convenient. I've always found the crazy breads to be the best part of Little Caesars, though.

One day, about 12 years ago, I ordered a Hot 'n Ready for my brother and I and took it home to eat. After the first bite, I could tell something was wrong. The pizza had a strong chemical taste to it. It was revolting. I immediately spit the pizza out and smelled the other slices in the box.

They smelled like bleach.

I drove back to the store and told the manager what had happened. He apologized profusely and offered me another pizza free of charge. I told him to kiss my rear end and walked out. I went home and called corporate and told them what had happened, and they took my contact information down and said they'd get back to me after they investigated it.

About a month later, I got a letter in the mail from some regional corporate bigwig explaining that they found out that the reason the cheese tasted like bleach was due to the fact that the reusable bags that this particular location uses to store the cheeses are occasionally disinfected with bleach and then washed clean with soap and water before more cheese is placed back in.

Apparently this location had some lazy gently caress who thought it'd be okay to just do step 1 without following through on step 2 of the disinfecting process, and that's why the cheese was bleachy. I'm positive that other people that day also had the same problem I had.

They sent me a 100 dollar gift card as an apology and said that they hoped that this incident wouldn't affect my patronage of their stores in the future. I ended up giving the gift card to a relative and as of this day, I have never purchased or consumed another pizza from Little Caesars.

Besides, if we're talking pizza companies that are headquartered in Michigan, Hungry Howie's (HQ'd in Westland, MI) is the superior pizza place. Free flavored crusts, motherfucker.

Precisely. It got to the point where I had to watch the whole thing on mute because they played this goddamn ad 4 times every commercial break.

I've been a Verizon customer for years now, and I appreciate the fact that when I got my iPhone 4, they let me grandfather my contract agreement into it, allowing me to continue to have unlimited data for the same price, despite the fact that new customers have a data cap.

But these ads are really trying my patience with Verizon, so much to the point that i'm considering going over to Sprint when the iPhone 5 comes out this fall. My contract is up in December, anyway.

Get your poo poo together, Verizon. This is like nails on a chalkboard on a daily basis, now.

It's a radio ad but there's a Taco Bell one going around where they quote fake twitter people talking about their tacos and ugh.

Oh god, yeah, that one is particularly infuriating. Especially the line "I think i'm gonna cry, yo.".

Despite the fact that it's clearly a bullshit Twitter account being quoted, in reality, if the taste of lovely faux preprocessed Mexican food bring a tear of joy to your eye, then you should immediately douse yourself in kerosene and then flick a Zippo.

And if you say you're gonna cry, don't you dare follow that up with "yo". You're not a cholo and never will be. Stop it.

A more realistic Taco Bell commcercial would feature someone laying down on the couch after eating the Taco Bell food, and crying/clutching their stomach in pain because of it.

This commercial irritates me a little just because it makes no sense. If anything, having your eyes dilated makes your vision temporarily worse and you sure as hell wouldn't want to be staring at a bright computer screen at the time.

Precisely. I've had my eyes dialted several times in the past for eye exams, and all I did afterwards was have someone drive me home so I could turn off all the lights and put my face under a pillow before falling asleep. Dialeted pupils are a pain in the rear end.

Oh NO! I was cooking pasta with my husband (because cooking pasta is difficult and requires more than 1 person), and the power went out!

Regardless of the fact that I had no light source, I continued cooking the meal to completion.

Then, I put the meal on a plate, shoved a flashlight under my jowls and attempted to eat the dinner like nothing had happened, but trying to eat with a flashlight lodged under my chin is awkward and hard to do, so I kept dropping the flashlight, which interrupted my meal several times!
