dumb ads

Relax in southern comfort on the east bank of the Mississippi. You're just around the corner from Beale Street and Sun Records. Watch the ducks, throw back a few and tell us what's on your mind.

dumb ads

Post by JR. »

I was complaining in the lighting thread about a dumb car ad, but I saw another one that just makes me go wha...

They are trying to pimp those water bottles with filters built in, but in the commercial there is a housewife offering water to an eskimo, who was drinking from the ocean!!! He smile because her bottled filtered tap water taste better (than ocean water) ... DOH....

Then theres all the political ads... but that's automatic... kind of like the drug warning ads where the drug side effects sound worse than than the malady.

Well, drinking ocean water does make you want to drink more...

Don't you think most of the AT&T U-Verse ads are pretty dumb?

A common theme to all of the AT&T U-verse ads are dumb parents. Based on AT&T advertising it seems like they think all of their customers are dumb.

There was one exception.
