Have anyone else thoroughly wretched over these lame commercials? I dont think I've ever felt a jeweller was so mackin that I needed to shout it from the rooftop for all to know.

If they really were the shizzy, they wouldn't need all these lame bloated commercials.

Sorry, just venting.

They have such a lame watch selection, I see no need to go in there again. My wife isn't into jewelry, she'd much rather have anything else. IPhone and a few other toys for her this year

Yeah, well I'm sure it doesn't bug you nearly as much as it bugs me. I bet you don't have people leaving you voicemails alluding to those ads. Or to that douchebag from Subway.

Yeah, my first name's awesome level has taken a dip since those ad campaigns started airing.

Yeah, teaching high school I got it both barrels from kids trying to be funny.

And yet, I didn't have it that bad. One of my colleagues (an English teacher) was named Harry Stoner. So all in all, it could have been worse.

True. But it usually takes them a couple dates to figure that out.

No, if any woman gets Jared, it's because her man isn't taking care of business at home.

Not as bad as one of our local jewelry retailer's commercials, which features a talking dog. Nothing says class and beauty quite like a three second clip of a dog's jaw flapping repeated a few times w/ a man using a dog voice saying how great their jewelry is.

I went to Jared...I spent the equivalent of...mmmm about a Fodera emperor elite 5...
I'm now divorced and my best bass is a SR5...
Don't get me wrong; I love my SR5. But it sure would be nice to be strummin' on a Fodera.
I have to say; the folks at Jared in Tacoma, Washington were quite possibly the friendliest bunch I've ever encountered. But yeah...if I would have known what a POS I was marrying...I would have gotten myself a Fodera and gotten her ring form the candy machines at the market.
Am I bitter? You're g _ _ _ amn right I am!
Rant over...

The one commercial that really skins my huevos is the Lexus commercial where the guy calls his wife to tell her got caught up at the office and can't pick up his son from practice. She ends up hanging up on him then walks outside to see him and the son standing next to the new Lexus. I just hope she feels like total garbage after she hung up on him.

In fact, I hate all car commercials!

I know that one of the great maxims of advertising is that if it makes you remember the name, it is a great advertisement, but I can guarantee the agencies for Jared and Kay that I will NEVER buy jewelry from either place, based 100% on the crappy advert campaigns.

About the 'compensating' thing.

I had somehow never heard the concept of guys with little wangs compensating by buying bigger cars. I mean seriously never. I heard it the first time as a 41 year old. One of my patients was a baby with multiple congenital anomalies. One of the nurses was changing his diaper and said "I guess the poor little fella will have a great big car when he grows up."

I was basically sort of ??????, until one of the other nurses on the floor saw my blank look and said "Oh come on, you know. Guys with teenie weenies always buy huge cars to compensate."

I told her I didn't know that, and quietly added to my list of reasons I wish I hadn't upgraded to an Expedition. ANd here I was worrying about gas mileage.

I have to wonder, if you upgrade to a larger vehicle because your family wants more room, does that mean you're supposed to lose some of your weenie size? 'Oops, sorry sir. You traded in you S10 for a Suburban, We have to remove half of your penis.' , or something like that?

Naw Bard, it doesn't mean that really at all, at least not to me...if you NEED the room, fine. If it's a 15 seat grocery getter, not so much.

Guys with small weeners buy corvettes...

I'M SO INCREDIBLY KIDDING PACMAN!

C'mon, it's a Dave Attel joke.

And back to Embellisher's sentiment, if my lady hung up on me over something so trivial, I woulda whipped the new Lexus' keys at her and flipped her the bird then smashed the car in front of her... there, is that macho? I certainly would no longer have a big smile on my face.

just kiddin around gents....
