Ohhhh.. well that makes more sense to me. At least now I know it means something!

And thank you for the comment about me being to young for it! Made my day!

Gotta complain about this stupid commercial ... now when I see it I literally turn off the TV

It is the car commercial ... they are driving at night through city streets ... stupid music is playing and this girl (who looks old enough to know better) is poppin' and lockin' in the front seat (and not doing a very good job at it!) Didn't this dance go out in the 80s?... OMG it makes me crazy!

Oh Moonie, is that what she's doing!! I thought she was just going SPAZ!!

"Can you hear me now?" "Good"
"Can you hear me now?" "Good"
"Can you hear me now?" "Good"
"Can you hear me now?" "Good"
"Can you hear me now?" "Good"
"Can you hear me now?" "Good"

I can hit mute before the first "Good" now!!

Twig, if my husband did that to me, I'd kick him to China!! In fact, He'd probably kick himself there. He hates it as much as I do.

The one where 2 women are outside of a 1992 Reunion. We assume it is high school especially because one woman refers to going to a prom. Anyways, the "punch line" (I guess) is when they cut to a guy in front of a Gremlin and you hear a song from the early 80's (I forget which one). Anyways, I know I'm not describing this very well, but I think it is a stuuuuupid commercial because that song and that car would be typical of a high school reunion of maybe 1982 or 1978.
I don't even know what this commercial is selling?

Owl, that commercial drives me up a wall! it even annoys me online. Have you ever been to iwon.com...anyway they have those annoying ads that pop up over the webpage (so you can't read underneath it). That dumb "Can u hear me now?" guy is there too!

Julie, that's the commercial for the Kia Spectra car. I actually like that commercial and laugh everytime because of the facial expressions.

Thanks Banana. I laugh at the facial stuff too, but it gets me that they have the years wrong. Now what is that song, is it Flock of Seagulls? (It's actually stuck in my head now, but only a small part of it, not enough for me to remember the name...)

I never paid much attention to the year and car until you mentioned it. You are right, that car, song, and year don't match! Now it won't be so funny anymore.

I don't know the song, sorry.

The Aleve commercial from long ago is back and it it horrible. A woman is called Aleve by her hiking companions because she handed them out to everyone.

And Kirsty Ally in the Pier One ad. It is as bad as the Christmas edition but her make up is better.

The commercial I hate is because they run it so much, not because there is anything wrong with the commercial. It is the US Postal Service Commercial where the high school kid gets the letters out of the mailbox and learns he was accepted at college. That one has really been overdone. I have actually changed the channels when that commercial came on and found it on the next channel, too. At almost the exact same spot in the commercial!

I haven't even see that Bigsister but the one that runs endlessly around here is the Dell commercial with the kid in his dads car. One time a program ran it back to back! I am sooooooo sick of that.

And I still have no idea what the last line means

Girl says: "You're going to tell him aren't you?"
Guy says: "Nooo, he knows"

Fruit, if you look you'll see the sticker on the back of the car that says "Dude, you're getting a Dell"

It's that same annoying kid from the first set of those Dell commericals where he talks people into getting a Dell but sounds like a valley/surfer/stupid kid.

LOL! Fruitbat. You obviously hadn't seen the other commercials with the "Dell Dude" a bazillion times like I have. He always said..."Dude, you're gettin' a DELL!"

I think that is what she was referring to.

And Bigsister...you are so right...they have run that US Postal add WAY too many times! I liked it the first 4,000 times I saw it...but now...it has gotten old.

Since you mention Dell computers, I hate their tag-line, "Easy as Dell." I get so mad when I hear that; I believe that the inference is "Easy as hell," and I don't want my kids hearing that phrase. Am I being overly sensitive? That's all I hear when the voice-over says "Easy as Dell." We desperately need a new p.c., but I have decided against buying a Dell just because of their slogan. Any recommendations for a good brand of p.c.? Thanks.

"Easy as Dell" means: ease of ordering, setup, support and service.

Since you asked...Yes, you are being overly sensitive. Do you honestly expect your children to go through life without hearing "Easy as hell"? They probably hear a lot worse than that every day.

Here's a recommendation for a good brand of computer. Buy a Dell.

Hello, Labmouse. Thanks for answering me. But I DO want my children to go through life without hearing swear-words. Since they've gotten older and are very verbally precocious children, I'm acutely aware of the language used by our friends and family, on television and in movies, etc. I'm trying to shield them from bad language, among other things. I just think we have to draw a line somewhere. I turn off my television rather than let my kids hear the gutter-talk that fills the so-called "family" programming between 8 and 9 p.m. You can't watch much of what's on TV without hearing a bunch of potty-mouthed people, so I prefer to play some cds or read with the kids.

My sister has refused to talk with me since before Christmas because I told her that I didn't appreciate her 6-year-old teaching my 5-year-old to say "Get the hell out of here!" I have also taken a hard stand against pornography. These are my values; if they keep people from wanting to be part of my life, that's okay with me. I have set my standards and intend to stick to them.
