Hey stephanus, the weather chanel doesn't cover this corner of Australia (believe it or not the nearest weather radar is 250k's away in Canberra and significantly blocked by mountains.

The weather channel's a lot better than all those idiots with their fancy schmancy technological crap - they have people actually take a look out the window and email them what the regional weather's like! You could volunteer for that, instead of wombat cuddling. Send them a few photos of clouds from your camera, and they can probably piece together a radar map of your area using cardboard and glue!

Stephanus I'm a roof plumber I know how good the weather chanel is - in the city. In the country it's useless. For example, every morning Ray Alcock phones through a report from his farm at Bemboka and guys in other towns do the same .. so if there's a dead cow on the road halfway up Numbugga Hil we all know about it
Now enough of this passive/agressive bs .. I've got a hard day's hike tommorrow .. g'nite sweetart zzzz

The worst ads on TV are the political ads in the weeks before election day. A non-stop flow of inane BS.

By Golly, it sounds like Macca on a Sunday Morning! How come you're not brain-dead??

Geico's ads do indeed laser into the differentiation of products. We know that Geico alone has a lizard as its spokesman and likes to offend cavemen. So there! ;)

Fisherman, this completely cracked me up. For any who don't know, IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. ROFL! I can understand why an irritating commercial can create nausea. But Irritable Bowel Syndrome? \
By the way, I like the Geico ads too, Leo.

Love some of the commercials now (the ones where people are riding in the VW and get into an accident are awesome), but most I ignore.
Also like the ones where the guy is working with a bunch of monkeys. And the one you linked UB was great!
What I dislike way more than those kind of commercials are the little bottom or corner of the screen ones that pop up right during the show being broadcast to tell you what network you're watching or what an upcoming show is. THAT is outright disrespectful!
