Speaking of dogs, the Subaru dog commercials.

Any commercial with a dog in it makes the commercial better.

On the topic of VW, I liked the "Unpimp Your Auto" series.

Can't believe they're 12 years old!

While we're talking about old car commercials I loved this one.

I hate commercials which is why I watch all my TV on Netflix or Amazon. However, I’m stuck with bullshit ads when watching sports.

The only commercials that can hold my attention are the ones with great music. Then I simply go to one of several websites to ID song, artist, etc. Can’t think of one ad that ever made me run out and buy something I didn’t need.

None of them. I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad that caused me to want the product of service. Most are worse than others.

I mute the TV for My Pillow and insurance ads.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I like the Toujeo commercial with the guy dancing. He gives it his all.





"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I just love the My Pillow ads. I especially love the fact that they are on every FUCKING channel no less than a dozen times per hour. Mad

I have no idea how that company makes any money with the millions they must shell out for advertising.

None of them. Some I have partially seen are downright vulgar.
