Is anyone else completely creeped out by those Overstock.com commercials? I mean, here's this not-exactly-attractive woman, dressed in all white surrounded by an all-white room, talking like a porn star. White? Please - more like scarlet red, ya hussy.

"It's all about the Ooooo..."

She lets that "O" hang there like she's getting the big, well, you know. I mean, how grossly suggestive can you get about a friggin' online warehouse with discounted clothes and furniture? Online whorehouse is more like it. *Shiver*

And those T-Mobile commercials with Catherine Zeta-Jones? Gimme a break. You're not fooling anyone, Cate, I KNOW you're not really standing next to that family. Take a good look the next time one comes on: that's some computer-generated shit right there. No way they're getting a hot, Oscar-winning, Michael-Douglas-marrying star to stand next to and talk to these Joe Schmoes about the beauty of using T-Mobile phones. I believe Joan Cusack is really schlepping US Cellular. Do I really believe CZJ is talking to this nice Midwestern family about better cell phone usage? Uh, no.

Who is in these marketing meetings? "Uh, we're just gonna superimpose Catherine next to the Smiths from Des Moines. It'll look SO real. Yeah, dude, she IS totally hot." Blech.

Maybe these folks should just look to some of the gum commercials for inspiration. I mean, have you seen the Eclipse spot with the "dead onion says 'what?'" GENIUS
