StormDrain posted:No surprise. Back in 2009 when people were defaulting on mortgages, the auto loan business was doing fine. Turns out it’s hard to evict people cleanly and easy to repo a car, and people rely on the car so it’s a clear decision on which to pay. Airplane Repo used to be on Netflix, it's staged as gently caress but still fun.

I assumed that this business (being in Colorado) was aimed at renting people snow tires/rims for the winter, but of course it sounds like it's way more predatory than that.

I just saw two commercials for Scientology’s new TV network, which, after watching said network, is creepy as gently caress. But that’s probably just the Thetans inside of me reacting to it.

Nah they're still in business, but there was a bunch of bad press about their BOGO offer on their commercials being a scam. You could buy the same pillows cheaper at Walgreens, with an As Seen on TV sticker. Also they're terrible pillows. Just gross and uncomfortable. It made me miss my pillow from straight up jail. Also side bonus about the weird pillow cult, the owner used to be a mega crack addict. Guessing that's where the obvious cross comes in. 12 stepping. edit: I forgot about all the bogus claims about the pillows curing cancer and MS and poo poo. Also the guy stuffing pillows claiming to be a sleep expert, which he defended by saying he sleeps a lot and was uncomfortable when he did it. Buddy, if you're a sleep expert then I'm a master vintner cause I buy a ton of Franzia. fizzymercury fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Mar 16, 2018 |

Also they had claimed it was the official pillow the 'Sleep Foundation' which the owner made up or something and that got reported to the FTC and had to donate a bunch of money to settle. ALSO they deliberately didn't collect the sales tax they were meant to in New York State and got sued by the attorney general over that.

This is so you can ride blade on curve for only $40 a week rather than paying $800 for wheels and another $600 for tires. But you live in an apartment and can’t store a lame set of stock wheels and tires so you sell them and now you’re stuck.

I thought Cici's Pizza was dead and gone, but watching the NCAA Tournament over the weekend has proven me wrong. I only ever ate it once in my life, while working at Best Buy on a Black Friday. It was provided to us for free and was just as disgusting as I thought it would be. Then I see these commercials a million times over the weekend and HOLY poo poo IT EVEN LOOKS DISGUSTING. Like, usually these lovely pizza chains at least manage to make the pizza look appetizing in the ads, but no......not Cici's.

ALL the new Geico ads are terrible. ALL of them. You thought Caveman poo poo was bad? Well, these are so much worse. I don’t even want to describe them but just know they are bad. Also the “fact” that you’ll “save” on car insurance with Geico is a lie.

Sash! posted:I don't get what rubbed you the wrong way. Not every location of a business is the exact same size. Maybe a better comparison. The gym in the ad was the size of a wal mart, 2 floors, exercise classes, some guy with prosthetic legs running on a treadmill for bonus points I guess. I also forgot to mention that in the ad there was a fake video that theres a rock climbing wall— but seeing the ad a billion times now I saw that it’s just a clever cut scene; there is no rock wall. And the gym IRL is the size of 2 Subways, one story, on the bottom floor of a residential building. 2 Subways. Very small. The ad touts about how amazing this Orange Theory place is the best but seeing it IRL is like... there’s flagrant false advertising, and there’s flagrant false advertising. — There’s also this ad for Endometriosis (made by a drug company) that isnt pushing medicines but instead seems to push you to lie to your doctor. Probably for medicine. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/wHe1/abbvie-endometriosis Thin Privilege fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Mar 24, 2018 |

I had Hulu on last night, and every goddamn commercial break there was an ad for PReP, that HIV preventative medication. But the beginning is this whole obnoxious montage of like, licking an ice cream cone, peeling a banana, inserting a gas pump nozzle into a car, creepily touching a halved orange, then ‘Not thinking about sex? You are now!’

Speaking of "Not thinking of sex? You are now!" this Nike Air commercial is supposed to show athletes getting their game on, but some ad person got cute and designed it to sound just like a porno soundtrack, complete with lots of heavy breathing and little gasps and whimpers and a buildup, climax, and afterglow. I like sex as much as the next guy, but using fake orgasmic wheezes and groans to sell shoes is gross and seems pretty exploitative towards the athletes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfX8ooS4Yhw Jikes fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Apr 12, 2018 |

There’s this ad for a wedding registry service that shows excited couples. By excited I mean the women are freaking out OMG THIS IS AMAZING and the men’s facial expressions are “I want to die.” The only couple in which both people are excited is the gay male couple. Too many problems to point out. It’s all bad.

A lot of commercials are using the same music. I think that "if you ain't where it is" song has been played like six months straight on several different commercials. It's so bad that I was surprised it was a real song since it sounds like it was created by a committee.

I even like some of it. But if you’re familiar with their music you quickly realize they are the biggest corporate sellouts on the planet. Their music is EVERYWHERE and in EVERY COMMERCIAL EVER. Or more often, it’s used as a bumper going into and out of commercial breaks during sporting events. I’ve never seen anything like it.

See also: AWOLnation. And I don't blame any band for selling out. Being a rock star seems extremely worth having your music played over footage of a mid-range vehicle doing sweet donuts in a desert.

Having just registered for a wedding and being a guy, I have to say that it was actually a lot of fun although she deleted almost everything I scanned when she wasn't looking. Why would you ever be like "I want to die" when you're getting to force people to buy you a ridiculously expensive set of knives you'd never be able to justify buying on your own!

Stereotype that men in heterosexual couples hate weddings and planning and it’s all that women are crazy about their weddings. Ads that try to reinforce stereotypes are poo poo (see any cleaning ad where the guy is totally clueless about how to; for example, use a Swiffer on the floor and the woman does it with a smug look on her face).
