Vehix.com: This one causes me to go into fits. The woman sitting in a hatchback says something like, "You can literally test drive a vehicle online!"
YOU CANNOT LITERALLY DRIVE A CAR ONLINE! You can virtually drive a car online, I suppose, but you cannot literally drive a car through your computer. This ad makes me want to kill something! I even wrote to the company, and told them to pull that inane advertisement. They never responded, of course. Maybe the American public has just become so stupid that they don't even know what the word 'literally' means. It wouldn't surprise me.
Here's another one:
'Girls Gone Wild'. What a waste. You can get online and download free videos of hot women doing a lot more than on the 'Girls Gone Wild' DVDs. Are there people so internet illiterate that they cannot find free naked chicks and must spend too much money for a bunch of 20-somethings pretending to have just turned "18"? Let some schmuck buy the DVD and the rest of us can torrent it for free.
And here's Dr. Stein who finds the clinical word "penis" so shameful that he has to resort to using a euphemism when he talks about "that certain part of the male body". Who respects a doctor who can't even say the clinical names of human body parts? Not me, that's for sure. Drives me nuts.
There are some shows that are worth watching, but watching American TV ads is probably going to cause me apoplexy. Somebody is going to pay for this nonsense.
But for me to get my daily dose of "Scrubs", I suppose watching these stupid ads is my payment.

Hey, how do you manage to watch TV online outside the US? Everytime I try to, it tells me that I can't. You may despise American tv, but the rest of us like it. Kind of like the art you have displayed--everything's relative.
I use a program called TVU Player. I think it's a kind of P2P or something like that.
Not all American TV is crap, just most of it. It's that "live audience" nonsense that drives me nuts. If they just made their stupid shows in a studio without a live audience laughing and hooting, it might be more palatable. Seinfeld is an example of a well-done show. No audience, no laugh track. Do your bit and let the viewers at home laugh or not.
