If you're not a Sox fan, you missed this commercial during last night's game. At least it was a break from the millionth repetition of those SouthWest People's Court ads and gazillionth airing of the Coors commercials that alternate between idiots getting angry with beer bottles and idiots showing how much they'd rather do anything than spend time with their girlfriends:

I like it!
Can they replace the most annoying radio commercial ("I've gone virtual my friend.... 101 mph fast ball fast!") in the world with something similar?
AMEN!
I abhor that ad. It's gotten to the point where I will turn off the radio when it comes on. I can usually just mentally tune out something irritating, but that one has annoyed me for so long that it now truly makes my blood pressure go up when I hear it.

And yet!
Can you believe that Brookline is trying to get this guy to get rid of his specially trained pigeons? It's un-American, I tell ya!
This Reminds Me...
This reminds me of a commercial that appeared several years ago for a sports car manufacturer (I forget which). A man is shown leaving the dealership, then being pursued by a squadron of birds right out of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". He races along winding roads until he gets his vehicle safely into his garage before the pigeons, or starlings or whatever can do their worst. I often wondered "what was the point"? Just to show off the vehicle's rack-and-pigeon steering?
Your forgot another annoying, endlessly repeated ad
The AT&T ad where the guy shows up in the train station and does a flash mob routine by himself because he hasn't gotten the postponement message in time. The notional benefit is, "Get our 4G wireless service, get messages faster", when if fact the greater bandwidth of 4G to the handset doesn't improve message latency through the network. In technical terms, it makes no sense. This would be easier to forgive if it weren't aired approximately 50 times each Sox broadcast.
Oh, jeez, how could I forget?
I thought it was pretty funny the first couple of hundred times, but now? It makes me long for the Higginbottoms.
