I know man purse or murse are not widely accepted terms by those who own them, but it's at least a man bag.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone.<br /><br />If my theory is right, then I'm surprised they didn't just use the commercial temporarily while they came up with a new, sensible commercial. Instead the same effed up commercial keeps airing.<br /><br />Also, if a State Farm agent is stupid enough to berate soon-to-be drivers then I guess people making fun of someone being poor isn't so outlandish.<br /><br />@Phantomas - It means you either don't watch a lot of TV or just watch a lot of DVRed TV...which is always the way to go.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-84973579912274953882010-09-20T17:46:29.027-05:002010-09-20T17:46:29.027-05:00Is it good or bad that except for the State Farm c...Is it good or bad that except for the State Farm commercial I haven't seen any of these before? Must not watch enough TV I guess.<br /><br />And yes those guys in the State Farm one are huge asses.

Which i've always thought was the most idiotic thing to do for an insurance company- alienate an ENTIRE class of up and coming drivers- that's a good way to make new business when they're looking for car insurance in the near futureAnne Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695186823472404436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-16572759273382754342010-09-20T12:11:11.929-05:002010-09-20T12:11:11.929-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only one who can'...I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't understand that van commercial!Ashlie Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819825642101427700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-45664210650877923622010-09-20T09:33:28.724-05:002010-09-20T09:33:28.724-05:00yeah that minivan commercial is effed up.

Also, who as...#1: Yes, that bartender is a bi-otch. Also, who asks questions like that? There's nothing I HATE in commercials more than unnatural dialogue no one would ever say simply to force the details of the product into the conversation. <br /><br />Agreed about all the stupid piss beer commercials touting their "great" taste.<br /><br />#2: Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get this one. It makes not a lick of sense. <br /><br />@Kate <i>maybe moms shouldn't associate their company's cars with children being terrorized.</i><br /><br />Ha! Yeah, I think your and Dr. Bitz's theorized revisions have to be the case. The commercial just makes more sense that way. <br /><br />#3 <i>And even if it did Doug would still wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat remembering that fateful day mixing matches with bug spray cost his parents their life.</i><br /><br />Hahaha! That commercial should end with a closeup on a single tear rolling down Doug's cheek. He's the only person in it who's not a douche.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-59111952733090796132010-09-20T01:49:30.779-05:002010-09-20T01:49:30.779-05:00So Parker isn't racing, he's running for h...<i>So Parker isn't racing, he's running for his life and uses the van to safely elude the bullies.</i><br /><br />I have the same theory about the commercial! The first time I saw it I thought it was strangely edited and got a creepy vibe from it. On subsequent viewings it's clear that the company made a commercial featuring bullying and then realized afterward that maybe moms shouldn't associate their company's cars with children being terrorized.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839009881093456132noreply@blogger.com
