I HATE THAT ETRADE COMMERCIAL!!!!
I'm sorry, I just had to say it. Like they're all countercultural and shit, like they're "hacking in" to another brokerage commercial. Look, you're a FUCKING BROKERAGE, you're NOT COUNTERCULTURAL! FUCK OFF!@!!!

Ok, you are now returned to your regularly scheduled lounge. Thank you.

2. LOL...Deep breath!
I saw one the other day that really got me...

A barn, with cows laying in the hay, having a borderline risque conversation, while the bulls were outside peeping in through a hole, trying to hear what they were saying.

Happy cows come from Wisconsin.

Made me think of the "Here's Bob!" commercials, cheesy (pun not intended) and suggestive.

4. snerk, NGU
If that's the worst thing I have to get PO'd again then I'm doing OK eh?

I just watch mostly MSNBC and they play it all the time and they're so faux-countercultural it makes me want to :puke:

5. Odd, I saw a happy cows are from California commercial
Where the cows were all excited by the "foot massage" i.e., earthquake. That was a couple days ago (after Sunday though) but I bet that particular commercial won't get played again for a year or so.

6. I saw it and had the same reaction
Also thought Hmm, if you don't have the money to pay for your own media, why should I trust you with my funds?

Stupid strategy, shitty execution.
