Subject: ARGH!!!! Crud Commercials...

Written By: Banasy on 06/10/03 at 12:49 a.m.

If I see anymore of those stupid Old Navy "Love Boat" rip-off commercials, I will not be responsible for the continued health and safety of Morgan Fairchild! I almost liked the nasty old lady with the Harry Carey glasses better....(meaning no disrespect to the late great Mr. Carey, who is definitley more attractive than said old bat!) I dislike Old Navy clothing, and I think those cheesy commercials are a big reason why.......

Whew! I feel better! Thanks for letting me vent!

What commercials currently running get your whizzies in a tizzy?

I haven't paid much attention to their newer ads, but when the Morgan/Old Lady campaigns first started running, I found it hilarious that neither of them ever wore any the Old Navy clothes they were hawking.  If the clothes aren't good enough for the paid celebrity spokespeople to wear, they certainly aren't good enough for me.  

My absolute least favorite commercial is the licorice candy commercial where the kids make a bullseye of the candy, on the back of a bald guy's head... and then we see that said bald man is seated on a park bench under two pigeons... and then we hear the slogan "Play first, eat later"   EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

She died last year.  Her name was Carrie Donovan and she was the editor of Harper's.

I don't like the "Love Boat" commercials either!

Any Acutane commercial.

Any "closed caption by..." commercial
Any family channel commercial.

And they moan after putting shampoo on their hair? That's a ridculous commercial. And why do we have to see half a naked woman body in soap ads?  ??? ;D
