Talk to the Goat
i have never heard of any of the things you wrote about in this post. and i'm quite glad i haven't :P
I don't remember 'Coming out of the Closet Ken'
idalisa: You've never heard of New Coke? Damn. Thanks for making me reach for the Geritol.
I too have seen Battlefield Earth. I shall never recover those lost brain cells.
I hired Battlefield Earth from the video shop when I was alone at home one time. I thought "How could it be that bad?" as I often think movies that get a panning are not quite as bad as everyone makes out (Guy Ritchie's Swept Away for instance). But Battlefield Earth got switched off after 10 minutes it was sooooooooo bad. So Amen Sista to that! I don't really know any of the others but may I add the Colin Baker Dr Who to your list?
That Ken is a bit too much for me. I agree witht he Old Navy Commercials. I'm still trying to wrap my arms a round the concept of scented gasoline. Oh, and, I really don't like my eggs on sticks. Did you find anything on pot pies?
i LOVE the smell of gasoline. especially jet fuel. it probably wouldn't make a good fabreeze scent though.
HAHAHA, This is too funny!
I hate the Old Navy commercials too and the Gap ads with Sarah Jessica Parker (even though I like Sex in the City)... The Christmas Old Navy ad was the worst!
The barbie is hilarious. What was Mattel thinking? I like the thought of alternative lifestyle barbies. I mean Barbie has had a miniscule waist and giant hooters for way too long anyway! She needs to get more realistic. Maybe a barbie with 2 kids in tow with spit up on her collar and diapers falling out of her purse on her way to the pharmacy to pick up some zanax....No wait that's me...rotflmao!
I love this post! You are right on the money Jay
p.s. Thanks for the get well wishes...
The Zero Boss: Lol. Believe it or not, we've only just received Vanilla Coke this year. I know you guys have had it for yonks, and though lil' ol Malaysia is behind by years, at least we only get the tried and tested good stuff. Thanks for guinea-pig testing all the rest, appreciate it much. Muahs xxx
So many comments running through my head...
Old Navy commercials hurt my eyeballs, making me change the channel and then making me forget what I was watching, making me miss the last 15 minutes of the show. WTG Old Navy!
Metro sexual Ken, bad.
Battle movie, didn't see.
Sodas... do you remember that bubblegum flavored soda that came out around the time clear Pepsi did? Talk about icky sugary yuckiness!
Scented gasoline is, in my opinion, like scented toilet paper, who cares? It's all sh*t anyhow.
I personally have no desire to suck an egg through a tube. But I bet Mr. Lane would like me more if I could do that with a regular egg. LOL
Lois Lane
I am slowly but surely becoming a Gap/Old Navy Hater (Yes, in CAPS). I have been noticing that clothes at the Gap are overpriced Old Navy Clothes, and Old Navy clothes are underpriced Mark's Work Wearhouse items.
I buy stuff from the Gap and it lasts about 2 months before it starts to fall apart.
Old Navy? about 3 minutes.
They need to show a commercial where this wear and tear is apparent. It wouldn't actually take much to film. Just point the camera at some clothes and watch the erosion of material from the air...
Who IS that sour old bitch anyway? And those hideous glasses, UGH! I can barely stand it, and then they throw Morgan Fairchild, who of course, every time I see I hear Jon Lovitz in my head.... It's just sick.
I think I found out that my bathtub wasn't deep enough for me to drown myself in after watching an Old Navy commercial...
and I LIKE the smell of gasoline. Sigh.
Oh, and since gasoline is about to reach the same price as a pound of cocaine, people might have to take more time choosing which one to get their buzz from.
I cook all meals at home. No more convenience foods for me! It's like I transformed myself into a Nigella Lawson..yummm. emm that tastes good!
I remember Old Navy. I still have a denim jacket I bought there once. the Jacket is too big for me and I never wear it!!
women always buy clothes that are too big for them, apparently because we get the shopping buzz when we're on our periods, and we're bloated and feeling badly, so we compensate with big clothes. totally dumb.
Yow, that egg-tube was beyond disgusting. I guess people'll put anything in their mouths (although I guess you've already had other posts dedicated to that idea, aye?)
Speaking of awful commercials, what about Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish doing the Burger King commercial. That's a commercial only Liberace could be proud of (if Liberace liked country too)...and I love the real song that they did their jingle to (Big Rock Candy Mountain-it's on the O Brother Where Art Thou Sndtk.)
What really sends me into a rage is Beatles Music being used in advertising. I make a note of what is being advertised and don't buy it. Michael Jackson bought rights to a lot of John Lennon's Music from Yoko Ono. So you buy something advertised with Beatles Music you're paying Michael Jackson's lawyer's bill.
Poor Darius. Everyone's down on him, but hey, Justin Timberlake did it first - or did we already forget that McDonald's commercial?
What about clear beer? There's nothing worse than when your beer has a deep hue and rich body...and tastes good.
They should bring back clear beer.
That egg thing is GRODY. Isn't there a saying about people being good at BJs equated with being able to "suck an egg through a vacuum cleaner hose" or something? It's a dying art.
Add me to the list of people who like gasoline smell.
The saddest thing about the Old Navy commercials is that they've coopted the theme song from FAME. Who ok'd that?

I was still married when New Coke came out. Despite the fact that we were eating lots of peanut butter sandwiches because we in college and poor, he went out and bought every single can and bottle of Old Coke he could find and then hoarded them....I should have seen it coming then...
old navy ads make me wanna blow up my television.
come to think of it, television generally makes me wanna blow up my television.
"My kingdom for a Clear Pepsi"
Man, I miss that stuff. Then again, I'm exactly why this stuff gets invented. I'll try anything "New and Improved" even if it's eggy and comes in a tube.
Mmmmmm, invisible cola. *drool*
Battlefield Earth... I was joking with a chick that we were going to watch Biodome, and she didn't object. That's strike #1.
I wanna know what the marketing people are thinking when they think up some of this stuff.
"Yeah, consumers will love eggs on a stick!"
My sidekick says the New Coke thing could've an intended smokescreen to disguise the biggest switcheroo since they swapped out caffeine for cocaine in the drink. He thinks that around the time of the New Coke blitz and "blunder" came the switch in the recipe from sugar to corn syrup. So maybe the biggest blunder in soft drink history had a touch of marketing genius to it. I would check that out though, cause maybe my human is making that whole thing up - he does that sometimes later at night with a mug in his hand.
As for me, I like to read the can of dog food as I'm eating it. My humans are saying I've gone commercial cause I'm starting to express interest in helping to promote things like life insurance and snack cakes.

I happen to like the Old Navy Commercials. I think they have some pretty snazzy skits and some pretty darn hot actresses on it. I look at them like entertainment. As long as you don't take them too seriously you can just revel in their absurdity.
And the Christmas ones were really good.
I don't care what y'all say. You can't take my Old Navy commercials away from me!
I agree with everything, but add the Coke with Lime commerical to the list!! That damn "Put the lime in the cocoanut" song gets stuck in my head and won't go a way!!!! 
Actually, The Battleship Earth book was fairly good, even if the movie sucked. But that's the way most movies based on books wind up.
Jay, you could not be morw right about Battleship Earth! I hated it too. The only reason I watched it was cause of Travolta but he was in that alien gear and he looked ugly. Total waste of time. That movie was the biggest blunder of his career.
...most definitely despise Old Navy commercials...
Now Target commercials on the other hand...
