I watch a lot of MSNBC these days, and I am really sick of

[Wickerman]

that bastard and his red umbrella as he walks along the countryside telling every child he sees along the way that "maybe I can help."

Screw the huge budget madison avenue advertising. Uh, I watch MSNBC for political discussion, primary related, hence the post in this forum.

[Olney Blue]

1. I thought this was going to be about Tweety.

:)

[CitizenLeft]

2. and while we're at it...

...let's drop-kick that commercial for "$100,000 jobs for $100,000 people" where overweight, clutzy, non-athletic "tennis players" storm the tennis court and knock the "professional" tennis player down as an analogy for the average guy going after whatever the hell job he wants and getting in the way of people "who deserve it." WTF! What elitist classist bullshit! I flip the channel every time I see it. What an insult to 80% of the viewers watching it.

:puke:

[Liberal Gramma]

7. That one really offends me too

Their message seems to be that if you're a 100K jobseeker you shouldn't have to mix with the peons.

[Mooney]

15. That one grates on my nerves too.

Why don't they just say "We cater to the moneyed elites and banish low wage-earners to purgatory"?

[Berry Cool]

30. Yeah, I hate that one too.

It's like a gated community for job seekers. "Sure, you may be unemployed, but you're an unemployed person who USED to earn six figures. We have a job posting service that won't force you to mix with all the riffraff who doesn't deserve to contend for a six-figure job like you had."

[dchill]

28. My guess that what keeps the riff-raff out...

is the exorbitant "enrollment fee" or whatever they call the cost of joining that elite job placement service. A bunch of suckers, if you ask me. (I know you didn't.)

[Maddy McCall]

3. I haven't watched MSNBC in months.

I don't know what you're talking about. Is it a commercial?

[UALRBSofL]

9. Maddy I havn't watch much MSNBC either

BTW, did you watch Lou Dobbs tonight? He was great as always.

[Maddy McCall]

11. I've had my TV off...and I've been listening to...

The Carpenters.

Go 'head. Laugh at me.

:P

[Wickerman]

14. fair enough

I am laughing :)

Today was a rainy day in MN. And a Monday.

BTW, yeah, it's an ad. Kind of creepy weird, Traveler's Insurance ad.

[Maddy McCall]

18. I haven't seen that one.

Insurance companies are pretty much loathed down here in my area, post-Katrina.




And don't laugh at my Carpenters. :P

[SaveAmerica]

22. Lou Dobbs was talking about how great McCain will be as president

because he's been to Iraq 8 TIMES!! WOOO HOOO!! 8 TIMES!!! He thinks he was in Albuquerque half of those times but he was there 8 TIMES!! (Did I mention WOOO HOOO).

[dchill]

29. Lou Dobbs? Great?

Listen to yourself! Sheesh!

[sniffa]

4. The Umbrella's pro-Obama bias sickens me

It's Fox News or bust now.

[burythehatchet]

8. At least Fox News* is balanced

[Wickerman]

13. just like the umbrella

to the right, that is...

[Mooney]

16. I threw my TV out the window and now I only read Lyndon LaRouche pamphlets.

[sniffa]

17. I bide my time taking Scientology audits

I think you're missing out.

[Mooney]

20. E-meters give me migraines.

If that makes it another 1000 years before I can become an established Thetan, so be it.

[LiberalAndProud]

21. That is baffling, isn't it?

This has to be the strangest primary ever.

[phrigndumass]

5. Link?

:rofl: (just kidding)

[NC_Nurse]

6. I stopped watching. It's so peaceful not listening to all the bullshit

speculation of Tweety and the overwrought and outraged KO and Abrams every night.
Not that I don't like some of the things they say, but so much of it is just pointless fillers
and shouting. Like an Oxyclean commercial. Ugh.

[Maddy McCall]

10. Same here.

I'd rather watch Lifetime movies.

[walldude]

12. Commercials have gotten bad.. the AAR affiliate here in Colorado

keeps playing these two commercials that are driving me insane. One is an ad for a seminar on how to take advantage of all the forclosures by buying property cheap, or as I call it, the "get rich off of someone else's misery" seminar. The other is for some bank who swears they will give a MasterCard to anyone who has an ID. No job, no bank account and no credit check, all you need is an ID. I hope people aren't falling for this shit.

[woolldog]

19. I'm sick of Joe Scarborough.

ugh

[Tribetime]

23. only umbrella I saw was on a Raining McCain video

[SaveAmerica]

24. It's OK just as long as the King doesn't start carrying that Umbrella around...

And I don't mean Elvis but that big-headed scary burger guy. And what's with Tucker showing up everywhere like annoying Pop-Up Video?

[azmouse]

25. That umbrella is dead to me.

:rofl:

[Wickerman]

26. I'm tired of DUer's throwing the Umbrella under the bus

:hide:

[Tatiana]

27. Red umbrella = Exploitative?

:hide:
