SUVs especially Hummers should be off-road capable, and should then be used in an off-road situation. If not, then why bother.

We'll throw it into context.
The SUV commercials that don't show the SUV doing SUVesque things annoy me.

I kinda touched on that in my post. It woulda been nice if they'd had an actual Mac user play the Mac guy. Although, i have to admit, i still like the commercials. They made 35 of them. Most haven't aired yet, if they even will at all.

I havent seen any of those, they are typically people driving in the mountains and camping and all that.
Certainly nothing along the lines of crusing around town running over other peoples smaller cars with just one person in the vehicle or anything.
Just like back in Saigon! Eh, slick?

even though the apple commercials are a bit "exaggerated" they are funny. most apple commercials in the past were lame, but i like these new ones.

My girlfriend HATES the Cingular ad where the mom and daughter are arguing about a phone. the one where they are saying the opposite of what you would normally hear in a mother/daughter argument.

Re: Most annoying commercials...
The Kool Aid commercial with the kids flying over a tropical island and there on the beach is the Kool Aid guy-thing and he has scrawled "SUS" in the sand.
"SOS?" asks a kid.
"SUS," replies the Kool Aid guy-thing, "store enough singles."
Now, when I was growing up, and I don't think they've changed it, the word enough didn't start with the letter "U."
Drives me smurfing crazy!
Also, the credit card commercial that uses "All You Need Is Love." Pretty much rapes that song if you ask me.
Grandfatherly advice: You can drink 'em pretty, but you can't drink 'em smart.

Heh, yeah that's pretty crap. I think they're trying to break into the UK market with that ad at the moment... frankly I don't think it's a winner. More of a weiner.
I'm even more turned off by a Dodge now than I was before they were available over here.
