Some more nominations --

McDonald's "Hand-Warming" ads
Jamie Farr rewarding himself with a Mars Bar
HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY -- wimpy wimpy wimpy
Any very long commercial selling magazine subscriptions (i.e. Read TIME and
understand)

I have gotten into the habit of videotaping EVERYTHING to watch at a later
date so that I can scan thru the commercials.  I think of the millions of
$$$'s the advertisers spend on putting their annoying productions on the
air, and how their messages are lost on me.  Ha ha ha ha ha.
