Ohmigod! I totally never thought about a kid watching that commercial you're talking about. but I have seen it and it freaks me out! Allstate Insurance has the same kind of commercials out now too!

You know what other ones really creep me out - those Lemon/Lime Squirt ones. Or maybe they are 7-up. Either way they are so weird and freaky that I can't even watch them. The last one they had on tv featured some dude laying on a medical bed for God only knows what reason. The whole concept behind the commercial is "SubLIMEinal messaging". So every few seconds they snap to a screen shot of a completely different event. Well anyways, suddenly the guys eye gets ripped open and theres a mouth in place of his eyeball or something freaky like that. Eeeeww. I have the shivers just thinking about it.

It was actually a Sprite commercial. I wonder, do the people who produce these commercials actually think that viewers are going to purchase their products after seeing them? I personally am completely turned off when I see stuff like that. Even in your example from earlier, why would I want to buy a car that always gets in accidents on the commercial? Ya know?

See, I'm on the opposite end fo the spectrum. I would TOTALLY buy that car, because those are hardcore accidents, and they are walking away from them just fine. But the Lymon ads? NO!!!! They are revolting.

They are VERY jarring.

I don't know the other ones you are talking about because I mostly watch TV with my husband, who flips around during commercials, thereby confusing the hell out of me while I try to work and watch at the same time.

Ok, you brought it up, not me so I am going to run with it - WTF if up with men and commercials?
The average commercial break is less than 4 minutes long. Why must they continually flip the station?
My man will watch two shows at the same time, even three shows sometimes, to avoid seeing advertisements. But what kills me is that he wil end up missing parts of each show because he forgwts to flip back. so when we watch tv together I have to say, "Ok, go back" all the time.
Someone should really write a blog on this. This goes hand in hand with that other blog about men not putting the seat down or changing the roll!

my husband does the smae thing. and i especially love it when we have one of those rare evenings together on the couch and we are going to watch TV and he flips through every channel at lightening speed....now how the hell are we supposed to figure out what is on the freakin channels if we are just flying by each one!? apparently he can tell if a show is good or not by the blur in between channel changes. very talented.

during the day i never get to see commercials either......the only time the tv is on, a thomas the tank engine DVD must be playing. see.....my son is 2 and already has monopolized the TV. it is hardwired into these men from infancy.
