There's an ad playing here at the moment for a brand of birth control which states at the end that you shouldn't take it if "you're pregnant or may become pregnant". Makes me laugh every time I see it!

Re: Adds that make you see red?
An advert just came on that started with a guy looking straight at the camera, his first line was:
"You know........ I have genital herpes"
It didn't annoy me, I actually started laughing; it just sounds weird.

There's an ad for Countrywide Loans, it's one of those 'home equity line of credit' things, it really irritates me. This annoying red-haired woman tells you that she got a loan with Countrywide and it saved her $500 a month on her credit card bills. :scared: How big must her credit card bill be, if she saved that much just by switching to a loan?

How about radio ads? There is a really annoying McDonalds one, it is a man singing completely out of tune in the shower. I hate it.

The insurance firm ad where the guy finds a rollerskate on the stairs, and wraps the stairway in 'caution tape'. After all, why pick up the damned skate when you can get paid more to insure against it?
