If it weren't for the mute on our remote I'd have shattered our TV by now. It's been on 3 times since 8 PM. Good grief. :mad:

It's pretty interesting what they are going to try with their pricing. I am curious to see how this works out in the short Nd long term

The geico pure adrenaline pig is the worst. But my 3 yr old loves it so we have to suffer through it almost every time.

In a nutshell...changing a bunch of shit. Here's an article that explains it better than me.

No more sales...just marking everything down like 40% and pricing by the dollar....

Instead of buying a shirt there for 25% off of $24.99 they are just going to sell it for a straight price of $15 bucks.

I am a victim of the digital age. I have a horrible attention span. I couldnt tell you the last time I sat through a commercial without switching to the flip channel or hitting guide to search for an alternate flip channel when 1st option is also at commercial.

The "I'm on a boat" Arby's commercial is worse.

All the Arby's commercials are fucking horrible, but yes, the "I'm on a boat" one takes the cake. Who the fuck thinks that shit is a good idea?

I missed that post earlier. That one is even worse than Arby's. Possibly my least favorite commercial ever.

I'm so happy I'm not the only person that hates this commercial with a burning passion.

The commercial is annoying as hell, and I hate it...however, we're talking about it, so their marketing people did their job ;)

It's not just how annoying the commercial is, it's how often they play it. Over and over and over again...

They usually have some great deals on men's casual and dress clothes can't lie about that!

Lots of people? I do most of my shopping at JC Pennys or Kohls for dress shirts and pants.

They never have great deals on men's casual and dress clothes. Your argument is invalid.

That's just sad. I'd hate to be poor and have to do the stuff you do.
