			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So like many Americans, we watch a fair amount of television in my household. And that means a lot of commercials. Some good, but many bad. And some overplayed to the extent that I change the channel to anything during the 30-seconds.</p>
<p>Here are some really bad and overplayed TV commercials:</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nf9jaZy3pYU">Jessica Simpson&#8217;s <strong>DirectTV</strong></a> (satellite television) &#8211; I haven&#8217;t seen the movie &#8220;Dukes of Hazzard&#8221;, but I&#8217;m assuming Jessica Simpson is acting like her role as Daisy in this commercial for DirectTV. Either way, I can&#8217;t stand it&#8211;it&#8217;s so corny! Why would I pay attention to what a dumb blond has to say about high-tech television service?</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=kVVSmnnqfvc"><strong>Geico</strong> Caveman</a> (auto insurance) &#8211; talk about overplay; I&#8217;m so sick of the &#8220;cavemen&#8221; and the &#8220;gecko&#8221;. At first these commercials were new and hip, now they&#8217;re just completely obnoxious. The &#8220;caveman&#8221; should just start a blog to keep the marketing going with those actually interested.</li>
<li><strong><a rel="nofollow" rev="vote-against" href="http://www.disaronno.com">Disaronno</a></strong> (liquor) &#8211; I don&#8217;t think that anyone stupid enough to fall for this sexually blatant commercial has enough money to purchase this liquor. (But I must be wrong as these ads are <em>still</em> running.) The woman in the ad is not even attractive.</li>
<li><strong><a rel="nofollow" rev="vote-against" href="http://www.rockfinancial.com">Rock Financial</a></strong>/Quicken Loans (Michigan) &#8211; These commercials for mortgages are so overplayed it&#8217;s not cool. Yes, I like the <a href="http://www.nba.com/pistons/index.html">Detroit Pistons</a> NBA basketball team, but man, are they ruining it for me with their partnership. And it&#8217;s not just TV, it&#8217;s radio, billboards, etc. If I hear or see David Hall and that terrible rock jingle one more time I&#8217;ll puke! Don&#8217;t do business with this Rock Financial either (that includes parent company Quicken Loans)&#8211;they&#8217;re terribly expensive, then they pass your mortgage on to a completely different company.</li>
</ul>
