Recently I’ve been seeing commercials for a payday loan service endorsed by Montel Williams. Montel touts this service as a viable way to borrow money quickly for exexpected expenses. I find this really ironic. See Montel sells a “health” product – a high end blender. My family had one. Actually several. I had one, it [...]

For the last week or two I’ve been hearing tv spots discussing a merger of Wachovia and Wells Fargo Banks. The first time I heard it I knew that I knew the spokesperson’s voice. It was the voice of Jon Cryer. Of course that seemed timely, and strangely coincidental, what with all of the Charlie [...]

Have you seen the Cheer commercials featuring Cameron Mathison, the actor that plays Ryan on All My Children? He is into all sorts of things these days. In these cheer commercials he plays Dr Dan. His smile is so bright, I wondered if they picked him for it as a tie in to the laundry [...]

It seems that commercials for products and services related to weight loss products are on the rise. Recently they’ve begun trying to pass law in Spain stating that commercials for some diet and beauty products would not be able to be shown before 10 pm. The reasoning is that they don’t want to encourage “body [...]

For a long time one of the biggest weight loss success stories out there was that of Jared and Subway. It had been said that Jared lost over 200 pounds just by eating Subway sandwiches for lunch and dinner. I don’t recall any mention of exercise or fitness equipment but would think he must have [...]

I used to see commercials for acne products on television all of the time. I’m guessing that industry is changing, as are many others, because I don’t see many commercials for those types of products any more. Rather than commercials people are turning more and more to the internet. There are now websites devoted entirely [...]

One thing I have never seen a commercial for on television is holiday cards. I actually can’t even think of any stationery commercials that I’ve seen off the top of my head. They probably don’t have many, or any, because it would be pretty hard to buy stationery over the television. The time the product [...]

Not all that long ago I used to see tons of commercials for acne treatment products on television. I haven’t seen any of those lately but I have been seeing a lot more commercials for cosmetics. There seems to be a television show for almost everything but I haven’t seen one on cosmetics. I would [...]

I loved the last Playtex commercial. It was truthful and funny. Well, the folks at Playtex have done it again. They have made another great commercial, this one for Playtex Secrets. I don’t know if these women have been scripted or if they’re speaking from experience but either way I love it. They’re not talking [...]

In commercials they usually show trucks the same way you see them on the car lot. The factory installed grille looks nice the way it is, don’t get me wrong. But I think that the truck grilles that people add on after purchase are nicer than the ones that come standard.They’re just a bit more [...]
