I know we touched on this subject before, but I am sitting here with the TV on for background noise and I heard this...

"Call now and get this Tivo for $49.99 after a $150.00 rebate...and record up to 40 hours or more of your favorite television shows".

Is it 40 hours...or is it more? An hour is still just 60 minutes no matter what way you look at it...isn't it?

I hate when they do that!

Then there is the "New and Improved" products??????? Is it new or is it improved? Can't be both. Make up my mind damnitalltohell! :hair:


OK...I'm done :bang:

Whew! It's true that misery loves company! I needed acclaimation!

Here's another that I've heard...

"If you are one of the next 100 caller's, you'll save up to 15%...or more"!

Well...what's the conditions in order for me to save MORE than 15%...you fargin' icehole!!!!!???????

~OR~

"Come on down to "Nutty Eddie's" car sale today and you WILL pay just $129.00 or less per month for any car on our lot"!

I want to pay less...how do I get to do that? I bet when I get there I'll be one of the ones who has to pay the max...right? You've gotta get up pretty early to fool me Mr. Nutty Eddie!

Lixy, you had me until here. ^^

I can't imagine *wanting* to watch 40 hours of TV on a regular basis! The stuff will ROT your brain.

Especially the ads. :D

But if I improve a product and put the improved product on the market, isn't it new then?

My head hurts.

Don't make me come over there and :spank: you! Then your ass'll hurt too!

/me wonders if she might egg me on just to find out that she likes that sorta thing????

:rofl:

FADE IN: *a deep, sexy voice says* "Try the new and improved ®Windex! It's the same window cleaner you've always known and loved, but we've made it better"!*

Now you tell me Ms. Smarty Ass Pants...how is it NEW if they are just (supposedly) improving upon a product that we already know and love...according to some advertising agent who sits in a board room and has never spoken to the peeps of the world about whether we even liked the old version and if they should fix it if it ain't broke...and has probably never used the product him/herself????

Huh? Huh?

Oh shit...now my head hurts too! :hair:

Nooooooooooooo! You'll HAVE to pay full price! But did you ever notice that that kind of commercial could run for an hour or more? So...thirty minutes from WHEN??????

ROFLMFAO!

I think I might need a drink now!

What if that commercial runs in different parts of the country at different times with the same 8** number. You can call 5 hours later and get the same discounted price. :rofl:

We can corner the market on discount pricing!

Oops! Didn't mean to say that out loud!

See, I wasn't listening. I figured if I didn't call ... I'd save the whole $29.99. :)

These ad people speak a whole different language designed to make you think you want something.

It's almost "Give me ten good reasons why you won't buy this".
