TV commericals at an all time low.

So, I am watching TV tonight and I think that I witnessed the worst commercial of all time. You can watch it here:



Whats up with the music. Why is it so creepy? I guess that they were trying to emote a sense of wonder or fascination but it comes off as spacey. Not a good fit.

Also the dad. Why is he so creepy? He keeps looking back at his kid like he wants to do something devious. Not appropriate.

I guess the tag line makes sense and the premise is somewhat worth while, but they do not deliver. The advertising company for Vehix should be thrown down the well. The same thing happened with another Vehix commercial that used to run often up here in the northeast but I havent seen in a while. The commercial was premised around a manager asking his two subordinates what ideas they had for the website. One guy says something about free washing with every visit...the manager then looks at the other guy and he says something about free car videos. Awful.

For every bad there is an equal and opposite good...a ying to the yang...thats were this commercial comes in:



This song is more addicting than banana phone. It has been playing non-stop in a loop in my head since the first time I heard it. Anyone have the lyrics? This is what I have been able to decipher so far:

Grew up in the 6 1 0
then I started laying down the 4 4
In the 2 1 5
every day and night i was in and out
Phil-a-del-phi-a
Thats where i come from!
Phil-a-del-phi-a
(i dont know, but it sounds like "I need man love")
Aint nothing wrong, with a little philly love.

The artist is Kevin Michael and he is a local philly guy. There is also a longer version where he starts naming sections of philly, but that has yet to be uploaded to the intranets.

Also, the wendy's "2.99" voice is the same for both guys....it only makes sense, mainly because you figure that they would not pay for two voice guys.

These unique charms make excellent gifts for many with the people
in your list. The cost of one's custom bridal jewelry will probably be based on a few things namely design, materials and time. A bride can still purchase the first thing she saw displayed over a shelf, however this case is not always gonna work to her advantage.
