I just don't get it....

There are several commercials currently running that have me rather puzzled... Here's a couple...

One is where a couple lounges at home snuggled on the sofa together watching their fav movie (Princess Bride - one of my favs, too) on a tablet. What? The 60" flat screen HD TV over on the wall is broken? You make me watch a 2 hour movie on a tablet and my neck would be locked up, my hand and arm numb, and my eyes bleary....

Another series of commercials that gripes me is the big boobed blonde pseudo Viking girl that jiggles and wiggles and gives inane speeches which rally the troops to fight in the ... shoot... what's the name... Game of War - a little game for phones and tablets, which... as best I can tell, the gameplay is absolutely nothing similar to realtime motion play implied in the commercial (unlike the PS3 or Xbox games commonly seen advertised) and should be yanked because they greatly misrepresent the game. I thought commercials had to be representative of what they're advertising?

Just wanted to vent. Watched too many commercials today.... Back to watching the ballgame....

OMG hee hee

Thought the second scenario was going to be about the babe rolling around on the bed talking about how viagra helps with those pesky erection problems

As far as tablets go, (I'm typing on one right now) it wouldn't be nearly as handy if it was a big 60" instead of 12"x8", but to each her own. Gotta agree it was so much better on the eyes when I had that big monitor.

There's a new Geico commercial that is really funny - I forget the story board at the moment, of course, but it's so funny, you want to tape it...

On edit, found it - it's that Salt n Pepa one...

Would be handy to have an ADBLOCK plugin not only for browsers, but for TV commercials as well. The amount of shit ads rolling over and over again is tiresome.
