Chevy ads are just the worst. I can't remember ever seeing a series of ads with more blatantly exploitative "patriotism." Especially that one with the small child learning to salute. And didn't they also do that "This is Our Country" campaign a few years back? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfelqZpapZA

Makes me want a McRib even less. quote:The sandwich contains a staggering 70 different ingredients, the least innocuous of which are “pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach.” Add in some azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides and… well, you get the idea. Scalded stomach? What the ever loving gently caress?

I don't see why eating ground up stomach or snout is any worse than eating a cow's rear end or real ribs.

I'm not going crazy, right? Tim Allen really has been shilling out commercials left and right for companies like Campbell's Soup and Chevy, right? I can't turn on the friggin' TV without hearing his voice these days.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Especially that one with the small child learning to salute. And didn't they also do that "This is Our Country" campaign a few years back? What's really funny about that is that "This Is Our Country," like John Mellencamp, is politically left wing- and very openly and explicitly so. I like to imagine the thousands of proud Hannity-watching 'Murricans that have nodded their heads with pride to a Silverado commercial before googling the song and making GBS threads themselves at its lyrics about gay rights, intelligent design, and anti-intellectualism. It's basically the same way "Born in the USA" and "This Land is Our Land" have been co-opted by "patriotic" types at some point or another while being the complete antitheses to their values and platforms. der juicen posted:Hardees just had a commercial for their cheese biscuit. I like it. But I only saw it once. On youtube. And if I had to see it on television, without any control over it, it would get on my nerves after about 1 show (considering the frequency with which Hardee's commercials get replayed). I do think the "awkward family photo" thing is sort of neat. But it's an admittedly brief appreciation.

If watching No Reservations has taught me anything, it's that Americans (in general) are really self-entitled and picky when it comes to eating meat. So while many other countries have no problems eating all those other parts of the animal in their somewhat base state, Americans think anything other than muscle is gross. The only way those are made palatable is when they're mashed together and labeled as something else, i.e. hot dogs, bologna, etc.. Teek fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Nov 3, 2011 |

Whenever I see those commercial I wonder who the hell actually buys lottery tickets for Christmas. "Merry Christmas, you lose!" And what if the ticket actually won? I'd imagine giving a 20 millions dollar lottery ticket to your 10 year old nephew could cause some bitterness. It's up there with a surprise cat/dog/animal as far as terrible Christmas present ideas go.

I can deal with that as it's close enough. What bothered me was when Target did a 'Christmas in July' roadshow that was Christmas Trees and lights that they obviously were trying to get rid of from the year before. It's not cute when QVC does it, and I just didn't see the point for a retail store to try it as well. Adding to the discussion, the Puss n Boots commercials with the cats doing 'oooooooh!' every three seconds. I just don't get it.

It's not the only gift and I wouldn't buy them, but eh, it's a little bit of fun for a few bucks and we usually end up breaking even. I also got a dog for Christmas one year and it ruled.

A pet can be a good gift depending on the situation, but it's pretty lovely to spring an animal on someone who may or may not want it. My sister got a god from her birthday from her college roommate last June. Now it's become an obstacle in her post-college planning.

I mean, that's a supernatural being of untold power on our mortal plane. Unless it's an evil god, I don't see the problem.
