Its not so much anti-ads but its more like a network (assuming in this case AMC) will air an off-network ad telling you about a show and then mentioning that you can't watch it on Dish.

They go beyond TV too. AMC's got ads on buses in DC saying "if you have Dish, you can't watch Breaking Bad!!!"

Dish Network is a mess right now. Over in Indianapolis, the local NBC affiliate has been off Dish for a month. So glad we dropped them years ago.

The new American Express commercials irritate me. No, you're not excited about new social media technology. It's like being excited that someone shot you in the kneecaps...AGAIN. No one does it ever and if they do make that mistake it's never for very long. It's not even real technology.

Jesus loving christ I am getting tired of these Sprint 'unlimited data plan' commercials. I'm not sure whether it's just from the sheer number of times I've had to sit through them while trying to watch Food Network or because it keeps reminding me of how hosed up my own family is :argh: Either way, go away!
I personally can't stand them because I can't believe this actually constitutes a joke and that some test audience actually found it funny. "Lol, that family's poo poo! XD"

So I was watching the game show network and they sometimes play really old commercials. Then one came on that brought back the 90's all over again. The mythical sears air conditioning commercial.

I believe it was, in fact, a goon that uploaded that commercial some years back. There was a huge thread where everyone realized that they had seen that commercial but nobody had any VHS tapes with a copy of it or could find any trace of it on the internet.

We've got a commercial in Washington that's a bunch of old men in a diner or something talking about how horrible the democratic candidate for governor's record was. I wonder if there's a national PAC running similar ads in multiple states.

This has been one of the most insane things, I'm in Texas and we kinda get the wind stuff but obviously they get massively outspent by oil here. Still whenever it comes up you can always be sure for at least one ad of 'these turbines are going to DESTROY the natural beauty and for what...affordable clean energy in a state entirely powered by a finite resource that spews pollutants? I think you know the right choice.'

That's the thing though, they never talked about the guy's record at all. They're a bunch of 60+ year old babies whose entire argument was "WAAH windmills look poopy! Vote Republican!"

Oh, I love them, too. If I lived on a mountain, I'd be all for a few of them up there.

The ironic part is, 90% of the people complaining will rarely ever see one...if you actually live on the mountain their installed on, you eon't see them. You have to live on the mountain next to the one their installed on, and on that one side, and not have too many trees around you, etc...

Nobody likes wind turbines. People on Long Island don't like them, and Ted Kennedy didn't want them off the coast of Cape Cod.

A follow-up to my post about MLB Postseason commercials: another annual postseason tradition is which awful show that nobody will watch is going to be promoted by TBS on every commercial break. Nobody remembers The Frank Caliendo Show for anything other than the commercials during baseball. This year, we're going to be seeing a lot of King of the Nerds.
