I was just exposed to the dumbest line in a commercial ever

EVER.

"Poor sleep or lack of sleep is one of the leading causes of fatigue."

NO SHIT?! Not getting sleep makes you tired? WHO KNEW?!

You'd think they'd vet these commercials before putting them on the air.

Sounds like an AFN spot.

Don't you remember what one of the phone sex lines in South Carolina used?

"Let your inhabitions run wild."

Oy. Yes, I remember that.

*shrug* I remember thinking "Call Scientific American! These guys have figured out what causes fatigue!" so I was so busy screaming at the radio that I missed what the rest of the commercial was.

And of course, I hear this commercial on the night I don't get any sleep.

Nothing on TV surprises me any more in regards to it's capacity for stupid.

The other night stuck at the ER waiting room, the TV was set to a game show called Deal or No Deal. I haven't had TV service in years so I was unfamiliar.

Quite possibly twenty of the stupidest minutes of my life.

This was a radio ad, actually, but I have seen some exceptionally dumb tv commercials lately as well.

Hrm... I can't recall the last commercial where I became interested in the product because of the commercial.

Girls gone wild. Pretty much the only commercial that ever had an effect on me.

Meh. I have access to all the free porn I could care to find on the internet.

Yeah I just meant in my whole life no other commercial ever got a reaction out of me :P

I didn't buy the DVDs or anything. That'd just be plain stupid.
