OK...I am not going to rant about the really stupid ones...just the 2 I've seen that maybe could cause some deaths and lawsuits:
The BMW commercial where the guy stops just shy of the edge of a cliff and this new Toyota Tundra [i think] commercial where this truck speeds up to like 70 [which is the legal speed limit in very few places in the US] to beat a closing wall and then slams on his brakes within about 1-2 inches of the end of a track which is of course, hovering over a huge valley/cliff!
I can just see some stupid morons killing themselves trying this one. Impress me with not killing the ducks crossing the road or avoiding the jerk who slams on his brakes on the highway maybe....but these on the brink of death commericals really should stop. A-people don't read or see the 'disclaimers' that do appear and B-haven't we learned from the Jackass movie that idiots will do ANYTHING they see on TV?
OK...long vicious rant over.

if they're dumb enough to try it, they get what they deserve. i think it's called natural selection? or survial of the fittest?

Exactly. Call it thinning the herd. No one accepts personal responsibility to be smart anymore.

Dean and I went to Dunkin' Donuts (what a shock) and there's a sign in front of the cookies... it says 'this product contains flour and wheat products...'
