Of course, everything is all opinion, but the writer does bring up some interesting points. The one that intrigued me most were the Volkswagen commercials; it did make me think about safety on the road. :-/

Yeah, I'd have to say the fudgems is pretty high on my hate list.
And they taste bad too. >.<

HeadOn's commercials are pretty bad. (Example found here.) Or they were anyways, until they showed exactly why they made them the way they did. They certainly got your attention, no matter how annoying, and then they released a new version where they acknowledged that, and surely they've gathered a bit of fame in the process. But initially, I thought they were some of the worst I'd seen in a while.

Ooh wow, I've never seen that commercial before, and I'm kinda glad I haven't... :P

I hate that commercial with a passion.

The fudgum commercials were bad, as was any GAP commercials that had been aired since Thanksgiving..

The sears commercial was annoying.. (the one where they show old footage of people opening gifts with an old christmas song playing in the background, and then the new footage with a remix of that same song..

I admit, that commercial wasn't that bad, but when i was at my moms house 3 weeks ago, in the time that the tv was on while we were and putting up the decorations they had shown that commercial more than 46 times..

I am starting to hate the Volvo commercial with the little girl singing butchering Jingle Bells..

However, the worst commercials I have seen this year, were the "Animals in the Womb" promos, and the Anti-Smoking Commercials.. :X

The one with the artery, lungs, the guy with the hole in his neck, as well as the truth commercial with the guys and their hairy backs.. :X

but the Animals in the Womb, and the Anti Smoking Commercials where they show the effect smoking has on your body followed by the pictures were the worst.. though they were not as disgusting, as the AITW commercials, in that they were actually moving around.. :X

I hate the GAP commercials telling me to "get my fash on." It makes me want to open up my own store and call it Chasm. It'll be just like the Gap, but way bigger... and with better commercials. :P

Boy, that would suck if they get
this on TV.

This would be very annoying too.

Yea, they aired that all the time during the summer. However, like you said, it worked and got people's attention. So i suppose the advertisement campaign is a success.

And it actually really does work!

I don't mind the VW commercials, because a crash can really happen at any time, and it in a way prepares you for it. I can't believe people got so mad over them.
My favorite is this one

throw a brick at my TV screen.
