Of what? Terrible customer support? Workmen who don't know what the **** they're doing during the installation process? Shoddy internet connection? Cable that goes down 3 times a day for no particular reason? All 14 worthless MTV stations?

Or maybe it's the On Demand feature, which has every single show that no one's interested in watching, for FREE!

Comcast is the devil.

Strangely enough, I have Charter. Yet I am seeing Comcast ads all the time.

But you hate everything.
 
Re: The Commercial Thread

I hate those ****ing hunger ads with the arm that comes out of the guys' stomachs and holds food. I'm so proud of myself that I don't even know what restaurant sponsors them. The more a commercial unsettles or enrages you, the better for the company. The King creeps out so many people that he's become a pop culture icon and the Burger King execs laugh all the way to the bank. Carrot Top irritated the **** out of everyone and they wouldn't stop talking about his commercials--another advertisement victory. The only way to win is to ignore them.

First of all, The King rules and no one must speak ill of The King.

Second of all, those hunger ads, which I also don't know what company they're for, were fine before they started taking out multi-page ads in the center of comics.

They didn't, it got pulled. Too controversial or something.

But this coming from the #1 South Park fan on this site?:?

Well it's not really satirical or insightful or anything.

It's just a company using a really sad, horrible subject to sell their stupid car.

It's exploitative.

Kind of like if a company did a commercial where a bunch of black guys do a drive-buy on another group of black guys, but the bullets don't penetrate the car because of how "tough" it is. It characterizes a large group of people as all being violent terrorists.

The most beautiful, amazing and greatest commercial I've ever seen.

It is just so great...


Nike


The HD version can be found on Nike's official site.


I think its the fact that they use the music from "Last of the Mohicans" that makes it so awe inducing.

This is a very sound point, on on the basis of this alone I agree with the commercial being pulled...

This, I completely disagree with. Showing a suicide bomber who is Arabic characterizes all Arabs as violent terrorists? That's like saying showing a white Klan member is doing the same to all white people.

You ever play organized ball?


Not once have I ever wanted to return to high school and relive my glory days since my knee accident.....but this commercial made me want to put the pads on once more and play.

The T-Mobile commercial with the kid making fun of the other kid's 5 is hilarious
 
Re: The Commercial Thread

There is an EXTREMELY disturbing commercial airing in the greater Flint area for a well-known local adult novelty store. It shows a family of four in their yard playing football and the dad tackles the mom and starts tickling her and dry humping her, and the daughter, who looks like she's about 6 or 7, jumps on top of the dad and starts wrestling around too. The dad has this crazed look on his face like he's so horny he can't hold back, and the dog is in his face barking at him. The son is standing off to the side and he says, "Daaaaaaaad!", clearly disgusted.

Like I said, very disturbing.

Oh sure. The FCC has time to complain and make CBS (or whoever) pay a 550 million fine because they think showing a breast is a crime against humanity, but they let THAT pass?

Nice of you to join us in the hypocritical land of the US.


We have similar commercials for The Lion's Den (an adult store).
