Am i the only one bothered by the Vonage commercial with the barista(?). Now talk on your phone and spin instead of doing your job even though it's visibly pissing off your customers!

Also the consumerist is doing voting for the worst commercial
http://consumerist.com/2011/10/vote-here-for-the-worst-ad-in-america-awards.html

Anyone who votes for anything other than the "Babies in the making GBS threads contest" commercial for "Worst Overall" is wrong. Just plain wrong.

Is it ok to post old commercials here? From the "It was a good idea at the time" Department, I present to you: Ayds Diet Candy. Ayds was a very popular product in the 70's and early 80's, promoted as a tasty weight-loss candy. It had quite a large market share in the "weight loss products" department.

That was before the discovery and classification of the AIDS disease in the early 80's. Suddenly, people didn't want AYDS anymore. The company stubbornly refused to change the name of the product even after their sales dropped by 85% and quickly went out of business.

Video quality isn't the greatest, but these are hilarious in retrospect.

"Why take diet pills when you can enjoy Ayds?"

"The plan lets you take two AYDS before each meal!"

"Thank Goodness for Ayds!"

That Bush's Beans dog sure is a loving rear end in a top hat, too. Why does he keep attempting to ruin his owner's business? Where does he think the dog food supply is going to come from after that?

I....think he wants to sell it for several million and then kick his owner to the curb? That's my guess. In which case the owner is a dumbass for keeping an intelligent talking dog around who is trying to ruin his business.

But if he lets the dog go, he will run amok and sell off what he knows of the recipe! The guy's keeping him under as close of a watch as he can, and is simply waiting for him to die.


So then go out into a field and take care of the dog with a rifle. Then buy a lawyer to beat the "animal cruelty" rap and then get a bird or something.
