> Does anybody remember any really bad commecials they've seen? I'm posting this in the heat of the moment after seeing a Judge George commecial where the defendant was accused of having a second-rate glass maker make his glass. Read: no budget. I really think those sort of people should be taken out in the street and be run over by a horde of rabid chipmunks.

I live in Raleigh, NC, which isn't too far away from the city of Durham (it's so close that we're almost a megalopolis.) There's apparently a Toyota dealership in Durham, and they're pumping out some of the worst commercials ever. Those glass commercials reminded me of them. They were always doing really low-budget, non-funny spoofs of various things, from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to Star Wars, I think. The worst thing, however, was that they butchered the pronunciation of "Durham." I'll bet every time they encouraged us to visit "Toyota of 'Doy-im' they lost a few customers.
