Who else is annoyed by this commercial?

[Not_Giving_Up]

The one where the guy is posing as someone from the pharmaceutical industry, and tanking Americans for not using their vacation time, for working themselves to death, and offering happiness in the form of a pill?

I know this is supposed to be funny, but every time it comes on I scream at the TV - "Not ALL of us GET vacation time, you fuckhead!"

Is it just me?

1. I don't know. I haven't seen it but the idea is kind of funny :)

I like the freudian slip about the pharmaceutical industry tanking Americans :-)

3. I just don't find it funny

He's sitting there, all stuck up, talking about how Americans worked themselves to death and then thanks the American people for making his industry so huge.

Maybe I'm just bitter as hell because I haven't had a vacation in years.

2. It irritates me too,

it's in essence saying keep working yourself to death, but don't know it, cause you'll never feel it...I'd hate to think that's the purpose of life...

4. So, it doesn't make you want to go to Disney either?

Glad I'm not the only one!

5. You couldn't pay me to go to Disney......n/t

6. There's another commercial in that series...Thanking loyal ...

employees for not taking vacations. You know the old Capraesqe style of the people against 'The man'. That sentiment has gone out of style for a while,but I think It's coming back. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

7. Yeah, that one pissed me off too

But for some reason, the pharmaceutical one really pissed me off. Maye it's all that money I shell out for meds monthly.

8. Not me. Cracks me up everytime.

9. You *do* know those commercials are supposed to be sarcastic, right?

I can't really figure out what there is to get offended over.
