I don't know any of the fast food ads you mention but those are often regional and might show up here later once whatever promotions are set up. I've noticed when traveling around the US that the fast food chains have different promotions in different regions so in NY they're pushing the McNuggets but in Florida they're pushing the fish.

The Mac ads are clever but one TV critic thought (& I might agree) that they back fire. That the Mac guy is an arrogant, faux hip, a-hole while the bumbling PC guy is actually quite lovable (& he's probably more like us than the Mac guy). What do you think?

Most annoying ad recently for me? Hmmm...I try to forget them right away. What's that one with the huge monster running down the street made out of furniture & your boss & your unfinsihed work & all your pressures which fall awy to reveal a guy jogging & drunking water for? That one's silly to me.
