> Ooh, ads I really hate! This should be a fun tangent! I'll start with those Welch's Grape Juice ads, the ones with the little kids who incessantly smack their lips (and are probably getting beaten up at the bus stop on the side).

Aw, she's cuuute! :)

> Then there is the seemingly endless stream of TV commercials featuring phone companies accusing competing phone companies of lying, oblivious to the fact that customers are now so fed up and confused that we're seriously considering going back to tin cans on a string.

Not quite that far, yet... Not 'til the internet stops being phone-line dependant. :)

> Don't even get me started on the SUV ads... "Let's pay $2 million for yet another commercial that shows a vehicle approximately the size of a tank driving through mud!"

Yeesh. Yeah.

> And there's my new least favorite: the Ameritech cellular "I'm in with the in crowd" campaign. I don't WANT to be in with any "in crowd." Members of the "in crowd" at my school are barely qualified for careers as duckherds!

Next to the "truck breaking bridge by parking on it" commercial in awfulness are those commercials that don't let you know what's being sold. The "windsurfing in a field" one has been mentioned already.
