Oh my god that K-Mart dubstep ad is literally offensive to my ears, how do people listen to that stuff? I have to mute that one every time it comes on.

I thought it had gone away, but that terrible ACE commercial with the dude screaming "NEIGHBORS! WE SHOULDN'T NEED A GPS TO FIND FERTILIZER! WE SHOULD GO TO ACE!" to everyone in the neighborhood is back, and it's driving me insane.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGViXUV5ZPY

So...we should go to Ace because you have small stores with poo poo selection? Got it.

Solenna posted:It exists. It's just expensive and a pain to replace and I think only one company makes them. Pretty cool though. I guess the idea is that all companies should have switched and any that haven't are being negligent so you should sue them? (I disagree with that but I'm not the lawyer) That's pretty ingenious. I'd be curious to figure out how the brake worked.

Who says what music can be in any commercial, not any of you obviously. Stop putting down people because they have talent and you are sitting at home.

Sash! posted:That's pretty ingenious. I'd be curious to figure out how the brake worked. It works by sensing conductivity - wood isn't conductive, but flesh is. It's pretty amazing. It's a pretty cool success story, but there's kind of a shady side to it too. The guy invented it and took it to the other saw manufacturers trying to sell them licenses to use it. They said no thanks, so he started his own company and currently makes one of the better quality table saws you can buy (plus it probably won't cut your hand off). He's also encouraging the lawyers who are filing all the lawsuits now because since his saw is the only flesh sensing technology available right now, he stands to benefit greatly if it becomes mandatory. It's a pretty touchy topic in the woodworking world - sort of the "iOS versus Android" for woodworkers.

It doesn't seem that shady, unless he's filing lawsuits against other companies that are also trying to develop technologies that prevent you from cutting your fingers off. I think most people would consider encouraging the industry to discourage dismemberment to be a good thing, but then again I'm not a woodworker.

It adds over $300 on every saw that uses it though, and that's why there is so much resistance to adding them on all saws.

I was already bothered by the down and distance being on screen in three places. And the score graphic being so high that its almost on top of the near side receivers and DBs. The ads on the glass drive me nuts in hockey too. Its like they are trying to make me done with sports.

Obeast posted:Considering that Axe smells like cheap poo poo cologne that stupid drunk sluts supposedly love and is mainly used by college-aged tools to pick up said sluts, I'm not surprised by how they advertise it.  I use axe bodywash in the shower and axe dry deodorant (not the spray stuff) because it smells nice and whenever it's noticed by a ladyfriend they comment that it smells nice too. Anybody that sprays on a ton of the poo poo is going to be a douchebag no matter what they are spraying on. The ads are terrible, but it's a pretty decent product when used correctly. SpacePig posted:I forgot to ask: Are they persistent ads, or do they go away after the hike? If they're there for the whole play, or the whole loving drive even, then I don't even know what they're thinking anymore. They go away after the ball is in play, just like the extended down graphics (the big arrow graphic, not the lines) note: A lot of ads like this are played around with during preseason because most of the preseason games are produced by either the team itself or the local broadcasters rather than the big boys at fox/nbc/cbs/espn. I doubt we'll see these in any real NFL games, just the preseason games. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Aug 27, 2012 |

I thought it cost more than $300, and you have to replace the blade and one other part everytime it goes off, which is something like $150. Still cheaper than cutting off a digit and having the hospital sew it back on though. Bird in a Blender fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Aug 27, 2012 |

We're talking about a sport where poo poo like the end zone would open up and robots would come out and try to kill each other or something, and that was like a decade ago when I was living with a sports nut roommate. The only way it's going to go is toward more of this stuff, I'm sure. There's certainly no shortage of people in sports that want more money, especially the broadcasters.
