    • I guess ESPN didn't learn that running a product commericial every fucking break, like they did for RedZone Body Wash in the 2004 football season, is detrimental it's sales. If I see that commercial one more fucking time before I hit the sack, I'm going to go Xerox on someone and jam the tuba up that guy's ass. Shut the fuck up already about taking back the shower and the container looking like a fucking oil can.
     
    Agreed, saturation ads are counter-productive. I'll give ESPN some leeway on this though.

    Whoever makes Dial is the one to blame for the full spread repetition of these ads. They made 'em, they bought the spots. All ESPN did was broadcast the damned things.

    Wrong. It's E$PN's fault. Doesn't matter what the problem is, they're responsible. Somehow. :biggrin:

    Oh hey, by the way guys, I don't know if you heard about it, but Applebee's has this new Shrimp Sensations thing going on where you can get lots of shrimp cooked in a bunch of different ways. I guess they had ads for it running these past couple weekends. I didn't see them personally because I'd been hiding upside down inside a volcano at the time, but my grandfather (who lost his sight and hearing in the war) told me that he was sort of near a television for a minute or two at some point recently and it gave him visions of two lumps of cat shit playing instruments and singing about shrimp. It also gave him diarrhea and this really terrible skin rash. The doctors say it has something to do with this Applebee's commercial, so I think I'm going to devote the rest of my life to hunting down those two singing lumps of cat shit and drowning them in a vat of pain.

    Shrimp, eh? I hadn't heard that. They should make a commercial using the theme song from a cheesy show and air the aforementioned commercial about 6-8 times per hour. I bet that would sell. :bonk:
