Then again, if I continue my practice of avoiding all products and companies with offensive, drug use prompted, or moronic (or all of the above) commercials, I will soon have a very simple and healthy lifestyle.  So there is an upside to my periodically staring at the television with a look of mixed horror and disbelief.

This weeks winner loser is Burger King.   Oh, yeah, those ads really make me want to eat there.  Who doesn't want to go to a fast food restaurant with moronic and/or insanely aggressive customers?  What were they thinking?  This is actually worse than the addictive air freshener ads thanks to the violent streak this burger apparently causes, and I really didn't think there would be ads that implied worse product affects than those.  And yet, Burger King found a way.  Go Burger King.  Or, better yet, never go to Burger King.

In other news, I love my 70 year old apartment building, but even half foot thick walls aren't enough when the next door neighbors decide to throw a loud party.  *sigh*  Good thing I'm not planning on going to bed any time soon. -_-

What is with ad companies these days?  First it was the demonically possessed gaming system, now air fresheners are selling themselves as mind altering substances. Why in the name of all that's holy would anyone want addictive, mind altering air fresheners!?

For those lucky enough not to know what I'm talking about: Febreze

There's also a scented candle one by Glade or somesuch.  It isn't quite as freaky, but it still suggests that people are using them for something more than mere air freshening.  It shows a woman lighting the candle, then pulls back to reveal that it's drawn everyone in the house, each person sniffing mightily.  Gah.

Are these ads supposed to make me want to buy the products or avoid them like the plague?
