Sing-a Ding-a Doo!

Just when television watchers couldn’t take the endless “Beep Beep” Ford ad deluge anymore, they decided to relent on their advertising schedule. Unfortunately it seems to have been replaced with another non-stop sing-a-thon, with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks singing about how much he loves Ford. Over and over and over again. In certain market areas, this commercial plays continuously, every commercial break, in every available national and local slot. In a small South Carolina town it has been playing non-stop for eight days on the local Fox affiliate.

It isn’t so much that the song-bite is annoying by itself, but once you hear it, say, twice in one commercial break, one starts to wonder if they died while watching an “Everybody Loves Raymond” rerun and woke up in hell without noticing. If Ford is going to buy so many commercial runs, at least they could break it up a bit with, oh I don’t know, at least a single other goddamn commercial that doesn’t have the same song in it.

I can’t believe I quit Nine Inch Nails for this

By special request here is an especially annoying commercial for Carolina Ford. There are a few cuts of this spot but they all use the same music track. The track is kind of extremely really somewhat very annoying. This song poisons the minds of our youths and robs us of our precious bodily fluids. Once you listen to it, you can’t unlisten to it.

The song definitely can get stuck in your head, but without identifying the brand in the song I wonder if it serves as good advertising or just a good annoyance. Listen and find out for yourself.

A pill to make me focus? Uh, what? What do those pills do? Help me focus! Great! I need..uh.. to.. uh..

There’s a “doctor” who never explains what his credentials are, pills that seem to target hypochondriacs, and results that could probably be psychosomatic. The demon scourge of radio and TV advertising has come to roost its earthly form in the form of these horrible commercials for Focus Factor.

WATCH and see people yearning to focus. LISTEN to testimonials as compelling as “It’s FREE? Well it’s GOT to be good.” WITNESS your brain try to eat itself as you ask, did this commercial just invent a problem you now think you might have and offer you a cure in just under sixty seconds?

The most terrifying aspect of this commercial is that it probably really does make people buy the product.
