1. Gotta go with eHarmony...
But I'm a little biased. I took their free 40-dollar personality test. After an exhausting hour of answering questions, they dumped my ass. Said they were so committed to making perfect matches that they couldn't allow me to post a profile.

But yeah, their ads annoy me.

2. I was tempted to go with Dr. Taylor, myself
for that bizarre non sequitur. But I went with Shell's insult to our intelligence.

3. Verbal Advanatage-- how to substitute appearance for reality
Rather than learning a larger vocabulary by reading more, studying, increasing the range and flexibility of your intellect, let us teach you some big words so you can SOUND smarter without actually learning anything. That's so Republican.

4. "Mom, can you take me to Super Cuts?"
That's the one that annoys me most.

5. Shell, what a crock
To paraphrase the guy he says with "programs like this the gardens may be around for others in 100 years." DOH, I assume they have already been around for THOUSANDS of years.

6. Since my field is marketing, picture this:
There is not one statement in that ad that can be substantiated or measured quantitatively. It is jammed full of what are called "weasels" - statements that sound true or positive but which have no real meaning. It sells snake oil in its purest form. It makes me grind my teeth.

The other ad I hate so much that I have to mute the sound is SuperCuts. When that mom simpers "...and you'll be a big corporate executive - oh! You'll look so good in a suit!" I think Damn, you people reeeeally shoulda recorded an alternate version for AAR. :grr:

It makes me long for the return of Lisa's dad. Lisa's dad. Well, maybe he'll show up.
