The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Like the Muta scale, but with redundant commercials. I suggest the Everest scale: "We're here with Don Ev---"fuck it I can't even write it out anymore. That'd be 1.0 Everest. "All I wanna do is race, Daddy" would be a 0.9.

Guest Smues Report post Posted January 25, 2005 I like this idea. HIS FATHER IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY has got to be a .8 Everest at least. (Treating it like the Muta scale where getting 1.0 is really really rare) Haven't seen them but from the sounds of it Jamstar would be .9 or 1.0 Everest Those razor ads "First they went to 3 blades. But 4? Give me a break right? WRONG!" .4 Everest Those "The rules have changed there is no up or down!" razor ads .3 Everest If I was watching TV right now I'd have a billion to add but my memory is horrid.

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 I have a theory about the ESPN spots and how we all grow to hate them. Every channel runs highly repetitive ads that cause you to hate even seeing them, but most of us have the channel set on ESPN nearly all day, which is why we come to hate them the most.

Every channel runs highly repetitive ads that cause you to hate even seeing them, but most of us have the channel set on ESPN nearly all day, which is why we come to hate them the most. I watch way way way too much TV. Usually all/most of the day on one channel. Of course you'll see the same ads a few times. But it gets ridiculous when you see them every commercial break all day. You don't expect the same person to watch Spike TV from noon to 9. But you should logically expect the same person to watch all of one show, say McGyver(gag). No need to show the same ad 8 times during the one show. Those Peach Tree ads with the British girl. .4 Everest Adam West schilling EzLink or whatever it was .5 Everest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
