I'd say they both border on being homophobic. And Camptown Races? That was put down ever since Blazing Saddles.

I don't find that very funny.

First three spots with Rob Lowe did a great job of getting Direct's message across, but the campaign started wearing thin by the 4th and 5th iterations. This new round, without Lowe, are almost parodies of the original concept. Since the idea has already been played out Direct had no choice but to rely on the surprise factor of using celebrity sports endorsers. I'll give Manning and Romo credit -- they're pretty good actors. And the spots are well produced. But we got the point last year. Enough already. Time for a new idea.
BTW, have you noticed the new spots from Xfinity? They're kicking Direct's ass on price. Now that gets my attention.
