    Gah. Flashbacks to concert choir and being told to "enunciate more; crisply, now!"

    Yup. Hate the commercial. But beyond that, it's a poor use of a ad space. You're spending the whole commercial on only one paltry product and don't even SHOW it?!

    @daqman: That would only be about 36 days. That would be a blessing. Sadly, it's probably closer to 25% now.

    I don't know what is worse, this ad or the term "twelpforce". Either way, they need to fire their agency.

    They should have Luke Wilson waltz into a Best Buy and buy a TV. C'mon Wilson, you whore.

    @Kaiser-Machead: No, actually rather nice soccer-style jerseys that we don't have to tuck in (and thus don't untuck when you bend over to get, say, a camera out of the cage)

    The guy on the far right is a friend of mine. His name is Adam Culver... he's in a band called The Future.

    I'm sorry you hate this so much. He's a really nice guy and I'm happy he is on TV.

    christmas "season" is allowed to start on or after november 25th. One month is all I can stand of obnoxious music, annoying commercials and fevered shopping. I started seeing holiday commercials on october 20th. Its like Halloween and Thanksgiving aren't even holidays anymore.

    @electricarchie: I urge you to read about Gregg Easterbrook's "Theory of Christmas Creep". It's amazing how much it moves up every year.

    At least the stadium ads were relevant to their point. This caroling bullshit needs to end the day before yesterday.

    I hate these commercials! Every time one comes on I get the sudden urge to jump off my 3rd story balcony!

    I have yet to do that though.. Usually I just yell profanities at the television.
