Risky is right......if they want to lose customers based on their irritating commercial.

I sort of liked the Target lady. Some of her "warm ups" were really funny I thought.

I do not like the Geico pig. The only Geico commercials I really liked were the pothole commercial (where the pothole is talking) and the one with the really funny ringtone that sounded while the man is in the bathroom. Here they both are in case you need a laugh:

My son actually downloaded the ringtone to his phone!

I hope the Secondary Audio (audio that plays for blind people, kind of like closed captions for the blind. Think it has a narrator that describes things) for the screaming commercial has some sort of apology for all the blind people having to hear that.

Thumbs down

Just found a site for that JCPenney screaming commercial. There are 52 comments so far and all but three people absolutely hated the commercial. I also talked to a representative and I get what they are trying to do and that is to get rid of coupons, etc. and to let people know that. They are supposedly trying for the lowest possible price. I get it. But ---- IMHO they do not have to scream to do that.

I hope they read the reviews and change their approach. Maybe we should all go to that site and voice our opinions! Can you please provide the link, Kitt?

Thanks, Kitt! I just voiced my displeasure with their commercial. LOTS of unhappy customers did, too!

Thanks for reading my thoughts: no to Penny's who seems to be marketing against Kohl's and Macy's and other stores w coupons & passes.

No to the pig whatever he might be selling.

Yes to the Target warm-up lady. Good ad. Good fun- the first time you see it.

Listening to radio more lately and TV less.
