Lately there's been a commercial paid for by the National Association of Manufacturers about how any and all pollution regulation is bad and why should we do it anyway when China is worse? The first time I saw it was mere hours before the Chinese president announced that his country would be enacting some new cap and trade legislation. Awkwarrrrd.

Hey Febreeze: spring isn't in the loving air! It's literally as far from spring as we can get (within a week or two, I suppose). I hope next time that fucker stands in front of his window, he takes a large crow straight to the goddamn face.

Uh, isn't the point of the ad that you can make it smell like Spring, even when it's not?

It's been showing here for weeks constantly among a few others with similar messages. We are importing Chinese pollution oh no! Usually they are also trying to pretend that as a liberal environmentalist you should be against new regulations on businesses since everything is great now and we don't want to rock the boat or anything. There's a trend in commercials that's really irritating me. I can name four commercials off the top of my head recently where the plot is the same "child grows up using our product and bittersweet music plays while we show parts of his or her life."

I like Paint Your Wagon as much as the next loser-that-likes-terrible-musicals, but that damned Amazon Prime commercial with Wanderin' Star plays at least three times every single commercial break.computer parts posted:Huh, normally in the US it just takes one drop.

One of the "testimonials" is of an older man who is a heavy smoker and has no intention to quit, but still wants to live a "healthy, long" life. It just comes across as weird.

It's too new even to find a link on YouTube but there's a new disturbing BP gas ad ("I'm giving you a gallon of BP has because you're my best friend."). I only needed to see it once to be both confused and put off by it.

By the time the heads of the company will have made enough money to buy their own NFL teams and play fantasy football in real life, and everyone will be happy

There are on going insider trading investigations Mind you this is all perfectly legal because of lobbying by the major sports leagues, who have no issue tying themself to fantasy sites. There is likely to be no legislative remedy for some time.

I know Star Wars has now become a multi-generational cash cow, but I gotta admit the ridiculously pervasive marketing push that looks just like the prequels is really killing some of the interest I have in the actual movie

I don't really care if it's illegal or not, I guess I just want there to be a law passed stating that both companies aren't allowed to advertise on TV or the radio anymore.

Do you guys in the States not get the constant advertising for poker sites and casinos and whatnot? I'm pretty sure I've seen those watching American networks, but occasionally a Canadian broadcaster will intercept those feeds so I'm not sure who's responsible for the advertising. I agree that the daily fantasy bullshit has been annoying, but I don't see it as particularly different or worse. gently caress Fallsview Casino forever, though... I don't know where it is, but their advertising is constant and annoying.

You might see a casino commercial once a day, if that, and sometimes not at all depending on what you're watching. Conversely, you'll see Fan Duel or Draftkings once a commercial break on every drat channel and every program type. Its that you get to see that drat GIANT CHECK!!!! six times an hour that's making everyone hate them.

Not only the GIANT CHECK and the PROMO CODE, but the cadre of shitfuck dudebros with backwards baseball caps highfiving their drunk friends. I hope that they lose all their money in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

I remember seeing a few every now and again, but not often. Since NJ started allowing (some) online gambling stuff though, PartyPoker.com advertises like a motherfucker all over the place, especially in Devil's games. But aside from that, i only remember the occasional Mohegan Sun commercial.

Their law forbids unlicensed gambling so they are saying "come get your license (pay us)". Next they will fight in court about Nevada saying it's gambling and federal law saying it's not. The insider trading stuff should worry them a lot more.

I like to listen to online streams of basketball from all over the country and that seems to be where all the Casino ads you're missing have gone. If there's a basketball game in a market with Tribal gaming, I'll hear about it.

There used to be a lot of online poker ads on the radio in Southeast Pennsylvania because it was close enough to Jersey to technically be viable. There's also been a lot of casino ads with both Pennsylvania legalizing gambling and AC going down to tubes in the last few years, but they're almost exclusively radio ads as well. I think my favorite was when one of the casino's biggest draws of the month was Dave Coulier, because each new ad tried to call him a different thing, and the best they could come up with was variations of "You might remember him as Joey from Full House".
