Thumbs down anyone else sick and tired........

I am curious as to whether anyone else is as sick and tired of Ford's commercials with the latest American Idol winner 'singing'. Not to sound like a troll, but this guy has a voice that makes me think he is is serious pain!!!! It is enough to make me think about boycotting Ford. I am wearing the mute button out on my remote!

"I LIKE WHAT I SEE....................POSSABILITY!!!!!!!!! I actually like that dude. I learned not to pay much attention to commercials so it dosent bother me. I work around a bunch of noise and have a 4 month old daughter so I can selectivly tune in and out to what I want and dont want to hear.

Actually, I haven't seen that one. I like some of their new "Bold" coomercials, like the one where the guy hauls off the old man's battered F1 and brings it back to him all restored.

But yes, you have the remote, no one's forcing you to watch a commercial you don't like. We have some commercials here that are so bad I'd have to smash the TV if I couldn't change the channel...!

To me, the worst commercials are the ones the Army and Army Reserve put on.

I did find a commercial that no matter how hard I try I cant block it out. Its for some kind of headache medicine I guess, anyway it says "Head on--apply directly to the forehead" 8 thousand times in a row. I wonder if they are trying to give you a headache to go out and buy their stuff.

I don't see the relationship of that song to what Ford is selling but then again I listened to it one time and mute it when it comes on. None the less, it put money in that guys pocket.

The worst commercials for me are the Eharmony commercials. Get a free profile, a 50 dollar value that was once a 40 dollar value that was free ever since the dang site was started.

I won't even get started on the Geico gecko........

Oh, and I saw one with Kelly Clarkson too! I think it is a horrible idea to put American Idol singers in their commercials, but it could be maybe that those singers are paying money for personal promotion? I agree, that guy is really annoying! They should stick with their other BOLD commercials.

So the advertising department used a bad idea, but personally I think that Ford is too good to ditch over a bad advertisement.

I just caught it after it started, didn't get if the old guy was the young guy's grandad or what, but it was definitely a cool commercial.

When I watch it muted I think "Wow, that guy REALLY has to go to the bathroom".
