1. I don't know your reason why,
but I agree 110%. I am sick of the new commercials. They had a winning strategy before with the gecko although I never switched. Why they are now using that disgusting guy in the bike shorts with the baseball cap and the ponytail and the loud mouth and the tree trunks for legs, I don't know. Does anyone actually like that guy? :puke:

3. What I resent is the manipulation. And they all do it.
Starts out with some little scene, irritating noise, , no branding in sight, and we're supposed to get all intrigued and focus in, eagerly awaiting the aha! moment when they finally reveal to us what they want us to buy.

At that point, I think an Eddie Vedder quote is appropriate: "Get outta my fuckin' face!" I refuse to care, but I resent that some serious effort is required to keep this nonsense away from me -- when all I wanna do is watch the ballgame. That's all -- relax and watch the ball game, without getting dragged into some desperate standoff to keep these lame and irritating intrusions as bay,

4. I've used them for six years, no complaints
Yes, the new commercials are annoying, but I've never had a bad experience with them.

5. Just wait. They are quietly sucking away your soul.
One day, your entire life may be lived out in an endless series of oddly-disturbing skits, each with a "clever twist" in the final seconds, which only serves to make you feel like even more of a chump for paying attention to the whole,vaguely depressing nonsense in the first place. The gecko was only the start, my friend! Save yourself, while there's still time!
