Yes, and I’m glad they dug those up. It reminds me of the time they made some really funny ads. I am wondering why they left out “ho……..ho……..hoooo…*cuts him off* no”
If you’re that serious about your wish OP, I’m sure some inmates in the nearby jail can make it happen.
Leons ads did used to be funny – are these the originals?? It’s been so long I can’t really remember them very well…
I love those commercials. What’s so offensive about it when you are making fun of everyone?
Sounds to me like someone’s,
ho..ho..hoooolding back their Christmas spirt!
Siiiinnnnggg
Are posts appearing on anybody else’s screens backwards (latest at the top)?
…something up with the Coast site?
On topic: Accents are funny. They are also fair game, because they are not immutable.
Dogma – there should be a button just under the original post that allows you to change the sort field…
I am not sure if they are the ones I saw (don’t watch TV often), but the ones I saw I thought were fun.
Success! Thanks, Gidget.
NP, ND. 🙂
Actually, it’s defaulting to “Newest to Oldest”, which is still annoying…every new page comes up that way. …but maybe it will fix itself when I restart my computer.
…or maybe I’ll just get used to it because in the end it means less scrolling. Win either way!
I miss the old R Whidden Ganong chocolate guy from a 1000 years ago – he sat in the chair and said “they may cost a bit more, but they’re worth it”
No, not yet anyway. But if you’re looking for more offensive ads, use google books to look up old magazines.
“No no no!” is what you need to say to the sales staff there too. Watch them eye you up and down if you walk in with torn jeans, since they don’t really know how much you make. LOL. They’ve lost business after I went in and got the old fish eye.
I love these ads….the rapper wearing all that bling…too funny!
*Mr. Garrison voice*
I thought this was going to be some Hannukah crap.
I hate the ads where the shoppers walk in and ask where in the store they might find the, “OMG OMG It’s exactly what I wanted! and it’s in pink! WE LOVE PINK!!! AHAHA AHAHA!!!” To which the sales rep replies with something similarly annoying.
That commercial makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
