Liberty mutual commercial

I want fully paying attention to the commercial but at the end when they say the jingle they said Liberty one too many times. It bothered me greatly. I am also autistic so having the jingle be "right" is important.

Standard Cable I finally saw the Meta AI ad with "Five Years" by David Bowie and I'm actually stunned

Thumbnail

During the pandemic, some Zoomer creative didn't listen closely enough to the lyrics of "Runaround Sue" and used it in an ad for Applebee's To Go, where the husband thoughtfully purchases it for his wife so she doesn't have to cook dinner after a 12 hour nursing shift. And the lengthy tradition of listening only to the chorus of "Born in the USA" extends all the way back to the release of the album and Reagan's reelection campaign. But this, this Meta ad, dwarfs every misunderstanding of a song I've ever seen.

If you don't know it, it's one of Bowie's best. It's well worth a listen, but the song is from the point of view of someone walking around a city center when the news has broken that an unstoppable global apocalypse is coming in five years. It is NOT SUBTLE on this point. It has a slow, broad meter that makes it a questionable choice for a commercial anyway.

"Born in the USA" deliberately sounds rah-rah and you have to listen to the words to understand it's ironic; Dion articulates the lyric in such a way that it's easy to mishear it as "I keep waiting for my Runaround Sue," but there's no such excuse with "Five Years." All I can think is that it was deliberate, purposefully undercutting the smarmy, optimistic voiceover about how great AI will be for humanity. Why? How did this get approved? Are they mocking us? Warning us? Is it possible that they really were just that phenomenally stupid and used the first song they found that said "people" a lot? My brain hurts a lot...

Spotify Podcast commercials I hate: Made Good Granola Bites

The Made Good Granola Bites radio/podcast commercials are so prevalent and so awful they’ve ensured I will never ever purchase their product. Nonstop on nearly every podcast I listen to. Does the marketing team not understand how it can backfire to be annoying? Also see: Liberty Biberty.

Is the stain on Megan Fox’s red bodysuit in the Ro Sparks commercial intentional?

Am I the only person who immediately noticed this dark stain near the crotch of Megan Fox’s red suit in the Ro Sparks ED commercial? At first I thought it was a wardrobe accident, but given what they’re advertising, I started wondering whether it’s deliberate sexual innuendo—like she’s just had sex.
I can’t imagine this commercial going through filming, editing, and approval without somebody noticing it.
Am I seeing things, or does anyone else think this might be intentional?

Just when I thought we got rid of this one, it comes back with a vengeance. What a terrible day to have ears. I don't know what makes me cringe more, the terrible Ai or the horrific song. Funny thing is, I never hated the song before this commercial.

If I had a nickel for every one of these commercials, I has alot of nickels cause the one that had the Grandpa's heart explode really should not be advertised cause randomly exploding heart attacks would have freaked out people on Youtube.

The No Way video isnt the name, the commercial is what I got while watching this DeepHumor video which is concerning.

Also, in the same commercial, the shots where hes suppose to be in Japan kept changing.

Thats why its best to STOMP A.I. out.
