Adult Commercials

[carole]

Yes i get that enlarge your penis one and the zoo one too, I have always wondered how on earth they got my address, hmm, but it seems everyone else gets them too.
The adverts that annoy me are the ones put on here at like 7 pm about viagra, and getting erections etc, especially when my young daughter is around, I know she is getting old enough soon to know all this stuff, but surely they can put them on a little later.

I have never seen those commercials, KayAnn - they must not show them on the channels I watch, or maybe they just aren't popular in puritanical New England.

I've already posted my rant against spammers on this board, here's a reprise:

******
Dear Spammers of the world,

Please listen to me. I have no desire to make my penis larger, nor do I need Viagra. I am, as the name in my email address indicates, female. I do not want or need marijuana substitutes, even if they are guaranteed by some temple in Tibet to be the best ever. I do not want to see naked pictures of underage OR overage women, gay men, desperate Russian sex-addicts, or anyone else for that matter.

I would not rewrite my mortgage with you. I do not want to start my own multi-level marketing scheme, and, frankly, though I never forward chain-letter emails even if they threaten me with dire consequences, my life continues on just fine. I have no desire to take a test to see who I will marry, as I am about to celebrate my 17th wedding anniversary.

I do not want to help you recover money from a dead general in Africa. I will not sign up for your "free" trip anywhere, and don't believe I have "won" anything from you. I do not want to buy anything from you, and by the way, Miss Cleo? If you really were psychic, you wouldn't have called me Harold three times in the same spam, now would you?

I will not verify my email address to you by sending a "remove request" and I did NOT request information from you by signing up on a "sister-site" of yours. I most certainly don't want to buy x-million email addresses from you so that I, too, could annoy people I don't even know. I will not dignify your attempts to flood my email box with stuff, even if you say the attorney general lets you do so. I will simply continue to hit the "delete key," and get on with my life.

Just thought you should know,

Sincerely,

Karen

All I have update is my anniversary, this was written almost two years ago, so you see that some things never change.

[lizbud]

Karen,

I had not seen your "Dear Spammers of the world" before.
It's perfect. Right down to your return e-mail address.

[Kfamr]

LOL, Karen, That's great.

[aly]

KayAnn, what, you don't like my commercials???

[Crikit]

Aly, you've been a busy girl I see those commercials all the time

Seriously though, those commercials and the spam emails are not what I want to waste my ever so valuable time on, I have better things to do with it like sleep.

[Kfamr]

But ALY, I never said anything about dragon the gradon and cake commercials. I've recorded everyone of them.

[tikeyas_mom]

lol I think they are soo lame, but it just makes them funny. Icant help but laugh at all the sleezy women on the commercails, they are so fake.

ggrrr

Uggghhhh! I swear my IQ drops by like 20 points every time I see an Herbal Essence commercial.

[Cookiebaker]

Karen, that is soo funny and so true. You put into words exactly how I feel.

[IttyBittyKitty]

Karen, that's too funny - and too true, unfortunately!

As for those adult commercials, I find them amusing ...

The "Adult Cafe" which is a "party line" service. Yes, you too can meet a hot, spunky guy or gal at a party line. Yes, really! Nooo, of course our members are not desperate! Serial killers? Prostitutes? Noooo, of course not!

The Adult 0055/1900 services - yes, that buxom blond wearing a few strings of fishing wire and not much else is going to be the sultry voice on the other line when you call in. Of course you won't be speaking to Buxom Bertha sitting in her own filth in a caravan in the middle of a desert. No, you won't be speaking to Charlene, either, who used to be "Charles" until the surgery!

The Herbal Essences shampoo - false advertising! Didn't get shiny hair either!

The Viagra ads - surrrrrrrre, Pele has delicate men's problems. Heck, I'm a gal and if I were paid 20,000,000 I'd gladly go on TV and declare that I had delicate men's problems. Even funnier is the Viagra ad featuring a crane trying to stand tall. LOL.

On a more serious note ...

I saw a commercial on TV today for Stihl chain-saws. I was half asleep when I saw the ad, but there was a cat in it, and at the end of the commercial, the guy buzzed the chain-saw and the cat screamed in pain. I hope it was sleep deprivation and not advocating animal cruelty!

[primabella]

The Viagra commercials are too funny. "Good morning, good morning..." "We ae the champions!" They're too funny.
The Herbal Essences ones are just stupid. It's not anything about how "trashy" or whatever it is, but I hate them because they're so darn annoying. Get a new slogan rather than "ooo, ooo, oo"

i enjoy the weight loss/fitness commercials

the before and after pics are the best.
if i was a gal i'd be pissed

before:
no smile
overweight
mousy brown hair
loose boxer shorts
t-shirt

after three weeks of the FAT BLASTER :
huge smile
skinny
blonde hair
bike shorts
tank top
(some how the FAT BLASTER increases bust size too!)

there is an infomercial with an older woman who has a GREAT
figure, it's Greer some or another.........
the part of her that weirds me out is her mouth.....she has one of those 'unsmiling' faces-the kind that when she puts lipstick on
it makes her look.........ugly.....plus the out-of-focus close ups don't help either....

[joycenalex]

a local fox tv station, has been running in the early morning 2 semi-funny ads, one for a local 'adult toy store' showing a middle aged white professional appearing couple looking at the 'hot babe'-maybe from one of those phone chat lines-, the 'babe' turns around and tells the couple," go get a video, it'll last longer" and sashays off. the same station airs a trojan condom ad in which the women tells the geeky looking guy she "needs more in the bedroom", the guy looks horrified, the trojan man appears and tells the geek about ribbed condoms for her pleasure. the final picture is a close up of her mouth saying "i love it". and to think i stay awake from menopausal hot flashes......

I used to get at least 50-100 spams a day regarding all that stuff. I e-mail Yahoo and got absolutely no response at all (why should they, it's a free site???) I was originally with aol (way expensive) at that time too. I kept getting e-mails "E-Mail Undeliverable". When I looked at who sent the e-mail, it was someone I had NEVER heard of. I got rid of aol too, except for IM for both Yahoo and AOL, which I love.

So I just copied my address book and then deleted the whole darn thing and signed up with Juno. Haven't had a problem since. Juno is so less expensive. $9.95 for Platinum, unlimited use. No flashing banners, no nothing.
