What adverts annoy you most?
Oh and how can I forget the J.G. Wentworth commercials, as two other people said in page 2. "Its my money and I need it now! its my money and I need it now!" Its your money and I want it now! Call today. There was also the one with the opera singers that keeps playing on GSN :wall: . I hate that one, the song gets stuck in my head. "I have an annuity but I need cash now... CALL J.G. WENTWORTH, 877-CASH-NOW!!!!!!!!!!!" And of course the boring lawyer commercials. Particularly the one with Attourney Peter Francis Geraci. That guy looks like he hasn't gotten laid in a century. He talks exactly as you would expect a stereotypical boring lawyer to talk. Oh yeh, and the 5 dollar footlong commercials get stuck in my head. And I love how Subway credits themselves with Jerad losing 200 pounds.

Computers - Have They Gotten Too Advanced?
When computers start talking to me telling me I have an email, and can update themselves automatically and function hundreds of different things, I'll accept that they're too advanced. Oh, damn...

Flag Burning.
Why did you burn the flag in the first place? Just to push youtube users to their brink to get some stupid responses? Sure, flag burning is illegal. That doesn't mean Youtubers can't express their views on it, regardless of the maturity level of the post. A lot of people get upset when they see it happen. Others get really ticked off. And the fact that they can't do anything about it makes them resprt to angry comments. You exersize your right to burn the flag, they'll exersize theirs to yell at you. What I hate is I found a particular youtube video about two men in the streets stomping on a flag. They went on about how they hate our country, the glories of Islam, etc. I'm amazed no one decided to tackle them. If we went to their country defacing their flag and ranting about their country's government, we could be murdered on the spot. I'm the kind of guy who says "if you don't like our country, get out". So I don't appreciate flag burning. But I think Magekillr put it beautifely, that its a pointless IRL version of trolling and there are better and more productive ways to get your views on the country expressed.

Speaking of allstate, there was one commercial which was actually a series of 3 commercials. The first one had a car crash and the dude saying "this is not the time you wish you had accident forgiveness" followed by a girl talking about Allstate's accident forgiveness plan. Then you think its over and BAM, another car crash, followed by the guy saying "this is not the time you wish you had better insurance coverage" and the girl once again talking about Allstate's plan. Then you think its over and BAM! again, another car crash, the guy talking again, then the girl, and finally its over. I shudder to think of it. Oh, and how can I forget the Lionel Coin Bank commecials, with those kids as minions trying to hypnotise you into buying it? "Lionel Coin Bank, Lionel Coin Bank, Lionel Coin Bank, Lionel Coin Bank, save your money, save your money, save your money, save your money, Lionel Coin Bank, Lionel Coin Bank, Lionel Coin Bank..." Thats the most demonic commercial ever.

The most terrorifing moment in your life?
I was in a public pool on a day where there were few people, about 7 years back. My dad had found someone to chat with so he wasn't watching me. I had one of those kickboard things that swimmers use for kicking exercizes. I was kicking merrily with the kickboard, but at one point I accidently let go. The kickboard floated into the deep end. Me, being the tiny but brave little boy I was, decided to go after it, even though I couldn't swim well. So I half walked, half doggy paddled toward the kickboard, which kept moving farther and farther as I splashed. Eventually I was in the 8 foot zone where I was just barely floating. Then I slipped under the water because I was getting tired, trying desperatly to paddle myself to the surface. My 7 years of life flashed before my eyes. Thankfully a lifeguard was nearby. Another time I was running toward a street to cross it. As I approached the street I felt a pebble in my sandals, and so I stopped running just as I hit the edge of the road. A car screeched by a split second after. Had I not felt the pebble, I'd be road kill. Someone watched me that day, leaving the pebble there conveniently :

What I hate about them is that they advertise on channels that they expect fat people with low self esteem to watch. Comedy Central, G4, [bleep]e TV, etc. They're basically saying "are you fat? If you're watching this TV channel, you probably are. Buy this product, you unattractive freak. Then go back to watching South Park without leaving a butt mark on your seat." Another commercial I hate are those Billy Mays commercial. He talks WAY TOO LOUDLY. "Scream scream scream! I'm Billy Mays!!!!!!!! Buy this product!!!!!! Look how well it works!!!!! Scream scream scream!!!!! Call now!!!". Someone needs to tell that guy that CAPS LOCK IS NOT NECESSARY ALL THE TIME.

Corrupt a Wish (IT's over Nine Thousand)
Granted. You take several sleeping pills and pass out, thus ending your irritation, while I put you under the illusion that I am awesome and followed all the rules and you will enjoy my presence or spend all eternity in a metal box. I wish I wasn't forgetful, so I wouldn't forget to follow the rules again.

Head-On, applied directly to the forehead! Head-On, applied directly to the forehead! I HATE that commercials. Also, the Free credit report.com commercials. The songs are pretty catchy, but then they get stuck in your head and annoy the heck out of you...

Age differences in relationships
I think it depends on the stage. During junior high, where schools are seperated by age, someone dating someone a grade younger than them seems weird and disturbing. In high school, it's more common to see say a senior dating a junior or something, but it's still not very common. In adulthood, ages don't really matter as much. My dad has 5 years over my mom, i know married people with 10 year differences.

Olympics 2008
Thanks penguingeek. I'm surprised I didn't think of that. I feel like a moron now :wall: Anyway, watching the video of Bolt, I loved how after he won, he kept running the track to meet his family. The camera guys, who were positioned near the finish line and weren't ready for this, had to grab their equipment and sprint after him. Poor guys. But they are probably getting paid a great deal for the perfect shot. And I saw another video. American Dara Torres lost the 50m freestyle by .01 seconds, just like how Phelps won one of his medals. How many close races are there going to be? It's amazing.

Olympics 2008
I have to agree, Spandex is hot. I'm getting really ticked now with Youtube copyright claims. I'm trying to find a video of Usain Bolt's 100m because I unfortunatly missed it. What do I get? Either slideshows of pictures taken in the race which don't give the full story, or videos that were removed because of "a copyright claim by a third party". Which 3rd party is this? NBC in America, because they wanted all Olympic attention solely on them? The olympic committee? The Chinese government? Its really ticking me off that if I miss one of the biggest things in olympic history, I'm screwed. I can't find it on the news either. I did find a link to an actual video on another site, but the problem is "due to legal restrictions, this material may only be viewable to residents of Sweden". That's seriously what it said. What. The. Hell. WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT SWEDEN?!?! Why do legal restrictions let SWEDEN replay the glorifying moment, but not any other country? Why do I have to watch hours of the Olympics in hopes of finding a good highlight or begging NBC news the day after to replay it, while some yodeling Viking can go on his internet and watch it again and again? (its satirical. no offenses intended)

Your favorite book/book series
What I hated about the series was that Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler, whoever you want to call him, was so desperate to have exactly 13 books for the unluckiness that he left tons of questions unanswered. We had to resort to the speculations for some decent answers.

Let's talk jeans.
I'm the kind of guy who doesn't care very much about his jeans. I don't like the idea of fading or ripping jeans to make them look worn. I don't care what brand I own, even today I own two pairs of jeans and forgot which brands they are. I only like blue color jeans, I don't care for black or green or whatever color they stir up. For me as long as they fit and are comfortable, I'm good to go. And for the argument on the boy scouts: isn't there a thread on it already? We go from jeans to Boy scouts' sexual orientation in a few posts -.-

Funny Olympic Sports
^That is true. Did you see the cheerleaders in the opening ceremony? They had to cheer for each country for over an hour. Thats pretty tough. Albeit, after the first hour they resorted to just jumping and clapping, but nevertheless it took stamina. To contribute to the thread: I think making faces in a leafblower should be a sport. Would be pretty awesome.

Olympics 2008
I was wondering if that was possible, to be swimming for so long in your life to the point where your body shapes to make you the perfect swimmer. Double jointed knees and ankles? :shock: That'd be cool for a swimmer. The ultimate butterfly kick. If this keeps up in the next few olympics it'll become a point where it'll be dissappointing if Phelps doesn't break the world record. This is just amazing.
