current nadir is the 'you keep fit, obviously. whey protein, how much do you pay?' as if that's even approaching a normal conversation.

You one a challenge for drinking water - what do you want a fucking medal you horse-faced surfer-dude wannabe?? Sometimes I like to go outside for a "cheeky breath of fresh air", that doesn't make it a challenge.
― village idiot (dog latin), Friday, 30 April 2010 14:55 (fourteen years ago) link
the really annoying thing about the volvic advert is its based on the myth that you need to consume a metric ton of pure water a day.

I think the commercial is actually pretty cute. The product itself is dumb as dirt though. Are people embarrassed that their child, like every child in history before them, has to wear a diaper? It's probably targeted more toward parents who think that dressing up their kids in grown-up clothes is cute. Does Anne Geddes do that?

dunno if it's on tv, but in the cinema i saw this appalling advert for calvin klein underwear, in which a succession of male models say stuff like "you wanna see my [bleep]?", over and over again. the bleep is the concept. and at the end one of them says: "what the [bleep] are you wearing?" n e way, oddly confrontational. guess it targets dudes w. low self-esteem (and, in this case, who like nicole holofcener movies).

i dunno, i found it quite amusing, and kind of surreal that LR would be appearing in an ad for a food brand he's most likely never heard of next to a sportsman he's most likely never to have heard of either.

I've been noticing a trend where the ad is basically the standard customer talking with a salesman. Except the gimmick is the customer is SHOUTING and EXCLAIMING!!! everything in a pseudo-ironic and completely obnoxious way. Almost like the company is saying "We know our customers secretly think that we think they are whining assholes! So we're going to be straight up about it and it'll appear ironic and funny!"
This gets on my nerves soooooo much. Some rent-a-car company does this on TBS or Comedy Central, the salesman is like "You just take any car you like." and the customer goes "CHOOSE ANY CAR???? YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!" It's also in some Best Buy and Progressive ads.
"I CANT BELIEVE WHAT A DEAL I'M GETTING EVEN THOUGH I AM AN OBNOXIOUS, LOUD CUSTOMER!!!"

Dear confused.com, the internet is not the most important invention of the 21st century. It was in fact not invented in the 21st century at all, as millions (if not billions) of people around the globe could tell you. If you did not mean to insinuate this erroneous date of creation, but rather intended to convey that it is the most important invention that has ever been invented and remains in operation during this, the 21st century, I must still take issue with you. The wheel is still pretty important iirc. Microchips, heating, furniture. Most of us would not be able to access the internet without the invention of computers, or even, DUH, electricity. So please, please, please, stfu.

Quite right, luckily McCain used to recognise the importance of the first, although they're remiss these days. Doubtless another feature of Britain under the ConDems broken, in the gutter, in pieces etc:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9R_QrbLDiw
