Ad-hoc

Dude, remember those Diet Pepsi commercials with Ray Charles? That's the song I have in my head right now. Has Pepsi made a good commercial lately? I remember liking that one with the young Jimi Hendrix picking a Pepsi machine instead of a Coke machine and winding up next to a guitar store (as opposed to the Coke machine, which was next to an accordian store). Aside from that, I think they've mostly blown.

Currently, I find myself strongly disliking the Double Stuf Oreo commercials that have people racing to lick all of the cream off of the Oreo. That is not how we eat Oreos, my friends. We savor them, unless of course, we have a gun to our heads. The proper way to eat Double Stuf Oreos is to take one cookie portion off of two Oreos and combine them to make a Quadruple Stuf Oreo. Duh.

Another commercial that really bothers me is that Gatorade commercial (actually, I'm not 100% sure it's for Gatorade...) with all these athlete's heads on children's bodies. While this might not be as bad as dogs with human hands, adult heads on child bodies is creepy, freaky and disorienting. For the next few commercials, everyone's heads look too big. Plus I cannot for the life of me figure out who the female athlete is. Tim has no clue either, aside from her being "Not Mia Hamm".

Always good: Commercials with kittens. Or babies sometimes. But not that one (I think it's for Pampers) with the baby with the adult voice pretending to work out in his diaper. Much like the big-head athletes, an adult voice like that should not be coming from an infant. Yes, I did enjoy 'Look Who's Talking' and 'Look Who's Talking Too' as a child, but I was a child and didn't know any better. Now I'm fully grown and realize babies shouldn't sound like Roseanne and Bruce Willis. Basically, I'm bothered by mismatched things. And the majority of most commercials. And also by people who don't use turn signals, but that's another rant for another time.
