What do you mean? HOW MUCH MONEY DOES A GUY HAVE TO PAY TO BE INTERESTING?!

@Dave Bry All the money, Dave. All the money.

Every time there is a sporting event playoff that airs on basic cable, there will be at least one commercial that will be shown at every break. It will be a terrible commercial with a shitty song that will wedge itself in your brain and make you vow to never use the product advertised. This is that commercial.

"Sponsored Post"

Love that you picked out this spot. The entire premise is false, the execution garbage, the subtext infantile.
THE GUY IS STILL BORING.

Also, worst AK song ever.

Why does "Jack" want to pay for access/experiences/boning with Alicia Keys when she says she's "on fire"? Is that menstruation thing? An early onset menopause thing? A might-as-well-get-this-antibacteria-resistant-gonorrhea-exposure-over-with thing?

Please liveblog that fucking manipulative Google ad with the girl and her widowed father. I mean seriously, way to guilt us into using your shitty products Google.

@Dan Stewart@twitter OH MY GOD WTF IS UP WITH THAT COMMERCIAL. Not okay. Not okay at all.

@Dan Stewart@twitter
Google products are mostly much better than the competition (tried using Bing lately? Yahoo Mail? Apple Maps?), but that commercial was like "doo-da-doo…typical Google ad…HOLY FUCK THE GIRL'S MOTHER IS DEAD."

Maybe she was a Google+ user and they still need to replace her.

@CaptBackslap More likely she was an early investor in AltaVista.

As part of a college thesis for research I have to search sites with relevant information on given topic and provide them to teacher our opinion and the article. Your article helped me a lot.
