Every once in a while a commercial comes along that drags down the overall intelligence of society.
I’m not talking about blatantly silly commercials, or stupid commercials that know they are stupid.
I’m talking about when a company chooses a spokesperson and earnestly believes they have something special in their new spokeshole.
The latest is the Jamie Foxx/Verizon commercial. I lose my mind every time he says excetera.
Did the director not want to correct him?
I know this seems minor compared to where we are as a country, but it’s not.
(Also, check out how he says New York is on the left side of the country.)
Maybe I am wrong but the track and field guys on NBC mention Beijing during the Olympics a whole lot.
They pronounce it Bea Ging, with the GGGG enunciated.
Isn’t it Bea-jing?
Bay-jing… but
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
🙂
You must be really, really racisss! Everybody knows that if you are facing south New York IS on the left side of the country!!!
ekcetera. That say it all.
That should be, “…the best nation in the country.”
i spoke with a banker the other day who promised me several times he was going to do some “cackle-ations”. He did not get my business.
There is no excape from the Idiocracy…

Excetera is one. But, years ago there was, “Winston tastes good like (should be AS) a cigarette should.” Leave it to the advertising industry to dumb down grammar.

“dumbing down”?
it’s gone beyond dumb and is approaching idiot stages.
Jamie Foxx is a radical socialist racist with about enough sense to pour piss out of a boot.
Maybe. If the instructions were written on the heel. In Ebolics.
izlamo delenda est …
It my birfday, an I ain gwan no liebarry. Juss ax me, I tell you.
No matter which way you face, New York IS the Left side of the country. Also California, also Minnesota,…
…excetera.
😉
Holy mackerel der Andy!
I found it unpossible not to laugh watching this…
We need Shaunqueefus to weigh in on this matter.
Lazy speech. One of my (many) pet peeves. Can’t watch Greta Van Susteren. If I hear her say “sectary” one more time, I will shoot my TV.
A relative was speaking to my daughter about the cartilage in her neck but said “cartridge”. The first time she said it, I thought, “she just misspoke.” By the third time. I realized that she actually thought she was using the right word…..
NOTE: this person is a relative by marriage, not by blood.
Just saying……
I haven’t seen that on tv yet, but when I do I will pretend I noticed the stupid. My family will be so impressed 🙂
NY on the left, lol. It is and it isn’t
How about “laxadasical”.
Or, it’s a “mute” point.
Madison ave has gone completely to the DARK side. Practically every commercial is all black or has black extras. I’m sick of it. Between commercials, the news, the morning shows, the weekend shows it’s all black, black, black.
When it is rammed down your throat it doesn’t help race relations it ruins them!
WTF Fur? He said it just like you spelled it, that’s probably how it was on the script too.
LocoBlancoSaltine – I remember when it used to be “Peking”.
And Mumbai was “Bombay”.
Also, what the hell happened to Ceylon? 😀
I hate when people put an “h” where it isn’t needed.
Shtrong, shtrength, shtreet,
And it’s TI-JUANA. Not TIA -JUANA. Ay ay ay!
I still call it Bombay. It pisses them off to no end.
OK, here’s my short list that peeves me the mostist:)
Wheel barrel for wheel barrow
Aks for ask
sodder for solder
Nucular for nuclear
Orientated for oriented (or whatever the F*&** they think they meant)
I know I have more. Maybe it would be a good post!
Oh, the biggest is not using CAPS wright like that wizzum dickhead
