Top Ten Laughably Bad Tech Ads Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember some of these when they were 'cool'.

  • They insulted Ellen Feis and the Commodore 64. This shit is unacceptable. On the other hand, I did get to see Kevin Costner using an Apple Lisa. It's difficult to figure which of them is more obsolete.
  • Costner. You can still make an aquarium with the Lisa.
  • Man, one of these things is not like the others: that pole position ad was frickin awesome.
  • Ooooooo, is that what possums look like? I've always suspected that they might be the secret behind all this technology interknitty stuff. Them and weasles.
  • Holy cow, you ain't never seen no possum? Sheyoot, they useta hang from the trees where I grewed up! From them long, spiny tails they gots. Or they'd come up on our front porch of a summer night and refuse to leave. Creepy critters. And their piss ain't no picnic to smell, neither.
  • btw, the above comments are completely true.
  • Is there a species whose piss IS a picnic to smell?
  • Well, I've heard tell of the legendary Homo Medusarius...
  • That's no Homo.
  • we has possums round my house.
  • We have weasels in our marketing department.
  • I hace goats in my flues.
  • I have jerks in my basement.
  • I have chocolate in my peanut butter.
  • I have... no wait, this post is just to turn TUM's attention towards this place filled with the kind of imagery she might enjoy. Just imagine the otter bile of graphic mashups she can create with this!
  • MonkeyFilter: Creepy critters. And their piss ain't no picnic to smell, neither. I bow in the general direction of Lara. MonkeyFilter: We have weasels in our marketing department. MonkeyFilter: I have jerks in my basement. Meh, not so good. But they'll do.
  • OOOOOOH, great stuff there, Flaggers!
  • Costner. You can still make an aquarium with the Lisa. posted by Lara at 01:26PM UTC on September 21, 2007 BAM! Roffle for teh wine! Look I'm sure he's a decent guy and I thought he did well in JFK, Bull Durham etc. but there is no excuse for Waterworld and Postman. I'm sorry but this is a filter of laws. He'll have to take up the matter with the Quidbudsman.
  • Don't forget the dreadful Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in which ten minutes into the film he decides he can't do a British accent and just drops it altogether. ACTING!!!
  • He was good in The Untouchables and Field of Dreams. He's an ok actor with a very narrow range.
  • And for the love, never see "The Upside of Anger". It's about the most grating movie I've ever seen.
  • AAAAAANNNDDDD IIIIIIII WIIILLLL AAAALLLWAAAYSSS LOOOOOVVEEEE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...!
  • *glass eyes shatter*
  • Ooops, better keep your monocles well guarded for the finale, ladies and gentlem... ok, you guys too *clears throat*
  • IT'S A CRIME.
