Oh, boy, a Totally Bad Commercials discussion! My nomination for
Commercial That Most Insulted My Intelligence is... are you ready?...

		* GRAPEFRUIT 45 *

Especially the one that came out in 1985 and started off with this
guy saying, "Look... I'm gonna put it to you straight. What's in this
(holds up grapefruit)... is in this (holds up bottle of pills). I know
many of you believe that grapefruit helps reduce weight (fine print at
bottom of screen appears, saying "based on independent scientific
survey")..."

I puke whenever I see this scam advertised.
