  • "The Snuggle bear from the laundry detergent commercials and the Serta counting sheep would make great TV shows for children…if they didn’t have commercialism stamped all over them, of course. Those types of characters are a lot more fun to watch than cartoons. At least, that’s what my little boy says every time the commercials come on!" -Kara on Ad Icons With Their Own Sitcoms

  • "This ad agency is so horrifically/hilariously bad! There’s a billboard near where I work. It says “The Joy of Eating” and under it is a chubby girl with her cheeks stuffed with food, and then floating by her head is some sort of toast slathered with.. butter or whipped cream maybe? God knows, but it’s just awful. I laugh at Sara Lee for giving something like that the green light." -Driver42 on Quirky Sara Lee Commercials: Gross or Delicious?

  • "This information is the best thing that has ever happened to me since deep fried food! Thanks!!" -Kawira on Your Direct Mail Campaign Schedule
