Thank you, I didn't have the patience at the time to look it up...thus the ellipses...I figured I got my point across

You got your point across, though with that particular part coming first, with that particular vowel chosen, it sounds like an entirely different product (though one that would most likely taste the same )

I was watching a certain NFL game yesterday, about which the less said, the better. During the game there was Subway commercial, with a football referee saying announcing to the audience, "I totally blew that call. Wasn't even close. Don't worry, I'll call a penalty on the other team in the second half to even things out."

I'm sure many (perhaps most) fans think the refs actually do that. (The evening out, that is, not the announcing of it.) But I'm equally sure the NFL doesn't want anyone thinking they do that. I'm fairly amazed they allowed it to be broadcast during the game. And what on earth did it have to do with the product?

As the masochist once remarked, "Beats me!"

BTW, has anyone noticed that just about all 2008 car or truck models are "all new"? I'd like to disassemble one to verify that. Even down to the 1" 1/4-20 UNF machine screw that they used in the dashboard last year.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I want a car with a mature and stable design with all the problems ironed out, freshly machined and assembled by experienced people who know exactly what they're doing and why.

Let the heat-seekers have the "all new" cars.

Along with that, "stop while you're ahead" comes to mind.

There's one where the mother pulls something out of the microwave, and the kid's hand comes crashing through the tiled wall to grab one.

Cute commercial, but completely ruined by the end. At first, the mother had a startled look on her face, and it should have ended there.

Then the mother goes on about how good it is that she pleased his son. Sorry, but any responsible adult would have let their child know it was not a good thing to do. (some may do it to an extreme, but that's another issue)

I hate the "I love Totino's" pizza roll commercials. I have never known anyone so enthusiastic about pizza rolls, largely because they're very bad. (I like them, but they are, indeed, very bad.) I mean, at least it shows children preparing their own food for once--I also hate those commercials when the mother comes home to a houseful of people, all of whom have been waiting for her to get off work so she can make dinner--but it's still obnoxious, and they've been playing it for years.

I also hate that diet commercial where the woman is leaning over the fireplace and gets called Santa by her idiot child.

I hate the ones that imply that the father can't do it. "Dad bought pizza instead of cooking! Thank goodness!"

(Of course, on the rare occasions where I am tasked with preparing dinner, I'm likely to order out - but that's not the point!)

Something about Father's Day gift ads has always bothered me. There's nothing wrong (apparently) with getting dad a new lawnmower, or hedge trimmer, or weed eater, but just try getting mom a waffle iron, ironing board, or vacuum for Mother's Day.

Mom gets jewelry and dad gets yard work.

One year I did get my mother a mixer for Mother's Day. Of course the previous one had broken down and she hinted very strongly to me ...

I saw that commercial for the first time last night, and IMHO the video looks even *more* like what you were thinking than the still image.

Right. Now, I got a stock pot and a couple of kitchen knives from Graham for Christmas and was very happy about it, but there we are. However, I think the issue is that men are seen as enjoying yard work. (I'm certain this is not universally true, but it's the perception we have.) On the other hand, it doesn't matter whether women want to cook or not in the public perception; it's what they're supposed to do. I think it's more analagous to given Dad an office chair or some such, whereas the corresponding gift to a hedge trimmer or tool kit would be . . . jeez, I don't know. I want to say "sewing machine," but my mother made our clothes, so that would still be another office tool. A hair dryer?
