Default This Commercial Makes Me Want to Commit Atrocities

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZICu_yRsuKo

OK, then. So Alka Seltzer had this nationwide search for a hip new jingle, and these clowns won. Apparently, they are heavily influenced by Rascal Flatts, some freakin bands from the Peach Pit, The Spanish Inquisition, and the Marquis de Sade, because this is torturously bad in every conceivable way.

I like all the "hot girls" who really love the song--they know the words, and they're really into it. Apparently, the front man for this Crossover Supergroup is irresistably sensitive, and that makes a real connection with his audience.

If I were wealthy and unbelievably angry (rather than just unbelievably angry), I would smash my television every time this commercial comes on, then I would gouge my own eyes out with one of the broken pieces of the screen.

And since I would be wealthy, then I could just buy another television and try to avoid the commerical in the future.

Seems superfluous at that point.

I briefly considered creating an Albert Belle gimmick account just to tell the OP to chillax.

I just think it's funny that this commercial is this band's 15 minutes of fame.

I hate this commercial. There's also an Avis spot running right now where music plays whenever people open their mouths that makes me want to murder people.

Isn't it a decent rock song from the 80's? (Here I Am)?

Terrible commercial, but Cingular's are worse. "The person I'm talking to isn't responding to my joke? THEY HATE ME! I MUST APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY INSTEAD OF SAYING "Hello, still there?"!!!!"

This is what I thought this thread was going to be about. That commercial is creepy and annoying.

The vid isnt loading for me for some reason.

But either way, you need to calm down.

Plus the fact you are here talking about it means the commercial worked.
