Don't forget your hat

Commercials are funny. Very rarely do they ever make you want to buy something anymore, they are just there to get your attention.
Take, for instance, the Quiznos ads featuring singing rodents that were playing a few months back. I wonder what genius in the marketing department decided that watching gerbils wearing hats and singing a jingle would make you want to go out and buy a sandwich? Interestingly enough, check out the same rodents singing praises to the moon, spoons, cheese, and other useful items.
Another one is the new eBay commercial. It's some dope singing the praises of eBay to the tune of "That's Amore". If I hear that damn commercial, the tune stays in my head for hours...and that's NOT a good thing. I mean, I like eBay, but talk about wanting scream after that runs through your head a few hundred times...
Does anyone else love the "roaming gnome" commercials for Travelocity?

If you ever are at work, or bored, or just want to do some mindless reading, the Ad Report Card is time well wasted.
