I think the person who thought up the concept of the "gift certificate" was a devilish prankster. Gift certificate: money you can only spend in one place. I fail to see how this idea improves our quality of life.

I will make an exception for a gift certificate to a bookstore...

I agree with one, hygiene products are overall pretty disgusting. I include all of the odor related products in this category.

Commercials for hygiene products are destructive to our popular culture, and they have to be stopped. They brainwash you into thinking your skin is smelly and scaly and utterly hideous and the only remedy is the use of their particular skin care product. They make you think your hair is a gnarled mass of dried spaghetti unless you use their particular conditioner. These ads cause mass insecurity to permeate the nation which is why, I think, television shows about stupid people -- court TV, police shows, etc -- are so popular. We need to feel superior to something after watching those commercials that make us feel so inadequate. The clincher is that the sponsors of these stupid people shows are skin care products. So it's a vicious cycle. The upshot of all this is that the nation's declining literacy rate can be blamed entirely on moisturizing cream.

For real!  All of those commercials are crazy.

Agree on gift certificates and the odor products. Ridiculous.

There are a lot of really offensive commercials that are aired during primetime when kids are watching that are just TMI in my opinion.

A lot of things are better left unsaid!

I don't agree with #3, I think Veronica Lake was really hot, I liked her look.
