Anyone been seeing the "ShamWOW" ads lately?

They've got the guy wearing a madonna/whitney houston headset microphone, standing at a booth demonstrating the shammy. The dude bothers me. Then they have "real people" saying "ShamWOW!" like they actually feel SO passionate about a damn towel.

"I'm a filthy old lady. I use it to clean up after sex and it actually captures the moisture between the sheets. No more wet back after we get it on! Thanks ShamWOW!" I would find that a more believable account from these old bags.

marketing that sticks in your head but forces you to never buy the product because you hate the campaign = does not work

I have not, nor will I ever, buy any "X-on" product.

Toyotathon and related hyperactive customers inthe showroom ads.
All Raymour & Flannigan ads. (The current sale ends as the next one begins.) Back in the day, the FCC or FTC used to say if it's aklways on sale it;s not a sale but a regular proce.
Any ad that uses "patriotism" to try to get me to buy something.
Just saw a ful page Harley ad in USA today basically saying there's nothing to fear, fear is un-American. Buit it sure looks lije the rider is wearing a WW II German helmet.
