I for mine have to say that I greatly value the service of Verison. Before, it was a difficult business to find out whether you wanted to talk to a person or not. Now, you only ask them whether they saw that yellow ball of bile on TV. If their reaction is positive in any way, turn and walk away.
Seriously, yeah, these spots are a pest. Thankfully, I don't own a TV set <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Now that i read that they have their headquarter in Berlin i´m asking out to all americans: <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Why didn´t you Bomb us some more in WW2, maybe such Morons would not have survived then!</span>
I don't think I've seen these comercials... I remember seeing some purple hipo doing a spanking dance thing, but only saw that a couple times. Of course I spend most of my TV time on scifi, discovery, or the local movie channels, so I might just be on the right channels.
But that creature that gordon is holding... that was the work of a random guy as part of his art portfolio. It was called "The Annoying Thing" and all it did was pretend it was on a motorbike of somesort (invisible) to the sound of the insanity test (remember that site) and at the end it just rocketed off, propelled by gasses from its rear... I might be able to track it down.

Jamster deserves death.
Here I am, watching pimp my ride on VH1 (yes, it has even affected VH1) and WOA heres a commercial for jamster. Then another, and another, and another...soooo many commercials!
Then I change it to Comedy Central to avoid them, and they're there too...it's sad.
We need to deploy the Marines, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and all other things such as that to BLOW UP jamster.

I haven't seen it, but then I again I don't watch that much TV. There used to be this amazingly brainwashing commercial when I was living in France. It was actually for band-aids! Their slogan was "Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros", literally "Mercurochrome, the band-aid of heros". The commercial would go like this: a kid falls over and then gets a band-aid placed on his knee then cheers because he won whatever stupid race he was running for in the first place. But after that 5 second crap they would just repeat the slogan about 5 times. Then they'd go on to the next commercial and right after that, just as you were recovering from the pain they would have the end of the commercial with the kid cheering again and the slogan another 5 times.
"Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros. Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros. Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros. Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros. Mercurochrome, le pansement des heros."
I think I was scarred for life by this commercial. Sometimes at night I see giant band-aids trying to attack me.
Heh, it's even worse then Happy Bob or Girls Gone Wild.
And here's a little known fact, why they are actually doing this. It's because, as I know some of you will agree, most teenagers these days use cell phones. Companies used to be able to spam down the phonebook, calling number to advertise. But now, since cell-phone numbers aren't listed, most companies aren't able to reach as large an audience as they used to. Back when most people used a house phone for everything. So now they are doing this, you call them up, they get your number automatically, and slowly compile their own phone book of cell-phone numbers belonging to people of the certain age group that those commericials are targetting. aka: 10-18 I guess. Then they sell these lists of numbers to other companies for whatever use.

I don't know what you people are going on about, I think they are offering a solid service to a people in need of such things. What could be more helpful than having the likes of Flava Flav or the incomperable Sir Mix-a-lot order me to "pick up the phone" at all times? I submit that nothing would be better than that good sirs! Except perhaps shooting yourself in the face with birdshot.
I didn't even know the company had a name until I read this thread, I would just think to myself <s>what a wonderful world</s> "Who in their right mind would buy that?!" And apparently a lot of people aren't in their right mind...
It's a useless service. You can download free ringtones and pictures for your phone all over the place - why the hell would you pay for it?
On that note: why even pay for a cellphone? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> [Although, one of them, where the kids are out shoveling, and the guy is drinking coffee, is a pretty good commercial, I like the acting in that commercial.]

I haven't seen that idiotic "frog" in a while.....but I just saw one advertising Rainbow-6 3. Holy...frickin....hell. There is no way a sane person would pay for that piece of crap. Just keep watching TV, the commercials come quickly enough, and you'll see it: they show a video of the game in all its suckitude, while they have the <u>real</u> Rainbow-6 3 commercial playing in the background. WHO IS BUYING THIS CRAP, WHO!!! STOP SUPPORTING SATANIC SPAM ADVERTISING, DAMN IT!

How would you get the people inside to build the turrets?
