THE BEST commercial -- the most random...

Before I let you in on my vote lemme preface by saying I hate bad advertising. I know that I talked about my feminism rage against the media but I just think that lame commercials shouldn't waste their time or mine. At least if you are trying to make me into a mindless consumer, take advantage of me, entrance me, so I at least forget that you are really just trying to induce me to go out and by something I don't need.

Commercials I hate the most -- ones that use animals. Especially animal puppets. Top two that come to mind: the old Blockbuster commercial and the Geico commercial. HUGE CORPORATIONS!!!! c'mon now, I know you have more money to dedicate from your budget to actually hire creative people.

But, I have to admit, although I'm not sure exactly *what* kind of animal it is (or if its an "animal") in the the Quiznos commercials (perhaps rats?) but the latino mariachi 'things' (if you will) hi-pitched singing "Eat Quiznos subs" "We have a pepper bar"...all I know is that is (low-budget) GENIUS.
