Do they really still do that? I don't even know why they'd bother with it in this day and age.

They most certainly do. My sister and I were looking for the Django Unchained soundtrack because I wanted the physical media instead of an iTunes download, and we'd already been to several other stores that surprisingly didn't carry it at all. At Walmart, there was one copy left, and I was loving excited and ran to the register to pay until I realized Walmart used to edit their CDs and looked at the cover of the CD just as I was about to pay. No "parental guidance, explicit lyrics" label, and the sticker said (EDITED). Talk about a worthless poo poo thing to almost mistakenly buy.

Needless to say, I went to my favorite local store that had it in all its explicit glory.

As for the current commercial, it looks to me like it was filmed at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

It most certainly is Atlantis.

For some reason Adult Swim is airing the commercial for that new goddamned Kidz Bop abortion. If I have to spend all night listening to lovely kiddie covers of Gangnam Style and One Direction songs I'm going to throw myself out of a closed window :byodood:

Those new batch of iPhone commercials are pretty terribly. They are still advertising features that are already on phones. Also if you're dreaming of the Williams sister why would you be playing table tennis with them.

The point is that it's a weird dream, playing tennis is what you'd expect to be doing with them, it's a lot weirder if you're playing ping pong against both of them at the same time.

I once had a dream that there was an episode of Lost where they killed an other or something and ran some medical tests on him somehow and discovered that his skull was similar to neanderthals or something like that, when I woke up I was convinced this was a real episode from the show.

Dreams don't really make sense.

I've had dreams about the Williams sisters but I was having sex with both of them at the same time. I guess that wouldn't make a good commercial for national TV though.

Oh, that was an iPhone commercial. I've honestly stopped paying attention to commercials like this, and if the product isn't in from at the very start, I probably won't remember what it was for.

The phrases "PC Matic" or "PC Matic.com" are spoken at least 16 times in the damned flower shop commercial.

I am disheartened that that "Happier than Eddie Money running a travel agency" Geico commercial is still on. It's not so much the song (although I hate that song), it's the two people persistently trying to remind him of what they really wanted, as if they don't recognize that he's singing a song.

:v: I've got, two tickets to pawadise, pack your bags, we'll leave tonight--
:geno: Um, actually it's next month.
:v: --Two tickets to pawadiiiise!
:geno: No, four.

Either he's joking with you or he's too far gone and has no idea where he is! All five of you shut up and go away!

The saddest part of those commercials is that, since these movies generally get bad/negative reviews, they virtually show every "funny" part of the movie in 2-3 different versions of the commercials.

All I heard from the ad was the 'op op op op' bit from the chorus and then the kids singshouting 'EEEEEEEY PRETTY LADAAAAY' under the announcer's voice so I'd say it's on that level already. This preview should be proof enough!

First suggested video from that: " Hippo gets explosive diarrhea." That about sums it up nicely.

There's one of those really annoying H&R Block commercial where its an older guy with a bow tie talking about how a woman came in saying that she hadn't done her taxes in 8 years and then he starts talking about getting the maximum refund. Pretty sure if you haven't filed taxes in 8 years you probably aren't getting a refund.

I've assumed that one is a "we can sort out any sort of nonsense that comes up" more than the refund. Except people fixate on refund.

Actually as long as you don't owe taxes, the government doesn't give a poo poo if you never file. It's money they get to keep interest free. You might get audited on an 8 year-old return, but if your paperwork is in order they'll give you your refund.
