I freakin HATE Old Navy commercials

Man ive had enough of their shit already!!! All the cheesy people, music, and fuck.....now "The Nanny" is in all of them?!! Sorry for my outburst of rage....im at home sick as hell and very annoyed at the moment.

*Cant get the "Let It Snow" disco remix out of my head!!!!!!!!*

I knew I wasn't the only one who absolutely hates those commercials...I actually get angry when I see them

But...it's successful marketing for them...normally I'd never think or talk about Old Navy...because I hate the store just slightly less than I hate their commercials...but these are unforgetable because they're just so damn nauseating.

I would love to meet the people behind the commercials though...so I could beat the shit out of each one of them for subjecting me to those ads

THAT was the worst one ever. I had to mute the sound every time it came on because I just couldn't take it.

It may be publicity for them, but negative publicity isn't always better than no publicity. I actually went there a couple of times (didn't see much I liked, but that's besides the point) before the ads started, but now I'll never go back.

they are bad...but IMO nothing compares to the annoyingness of the "I'm lovin' it" campaign from McDonald's.

badabababababa I'm loooovin' it

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

grab some hoodies...

oh god...I hate those too!!!!! "loving" what??? You couldn't pay me to eat that crap. Vice Mag had the best reply to their old campaign that the writer found sickening. It was something like "There's a little McDonalds in everyone...that's nice...fuck you!".

At first glance, I'd agree with you...but then I remind myself that a huge chunk of the population, especially south of the border, is made up of...well...people that don't see things the same way we do (my diplomatic way of refering to them as "sheep", lol)...people that see crap like those ads and actually think they're clever and cute...the same people that think Bob Saget was funny and that America's Funniest Home Videos was hillarious

We may all bitch and complain about McDonalds but at the end of the day they are still the microsoft of the fast food industry and I personally like it. I don't eat a lot of it cause i'm trying to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle but I still enjoy the food. Commercials are commercials...you don't have to like them after all...

Besides nothing can be worse than the Barqs ad running right now on TV... Drink may still be good though.

Actually I thought that wasn't a bad show...I'm not defending Americans but what's better in Canada...the Toronto show? hhhmmm Or maybe mike bullard?

tivo anyone?

Posted by E2EK1EL on Nov-17-2003 22:18:

Yeah that's their point ... they make stupid & annoying commercials for you to remember them by. They blast those tunes in the stores too make it 100X worse!

They are brainwashing you .... old skool tunes for old skool theme, shopping can be fun again.

*gasp*

here I was, ready to go post a compliment after downloading and listening to your set...I dunno now

Posted by starsearcher on Nov-18-2003 15:01:

Skippy youre right it's not that bad...I think the problem is they overplay it...and the clothes in that ad never really look like that when you buy them lol.
What's lil kim doing there anyways...She's the las person I'd imagine promoting old navy lol.

Posted by nadezhda on Nov-18-2003 19:47:

i hate old navy commercials like i hate the store. i refuse to go in there. i cannot stand places that merchandise like that. i also hate their clothing.

yep, can you feel the hate?

Posted by Sierra on Nov-18-2003 19:52:

Three Options:

1) Use the friggen' remote to change the channel.

2) Get off your fatass and change the channel if you can't find the remote.

3) Leave the room.
