First, it's creepy that there's this disembodied hand sticking out of box. Second, the song is shrill. Third, it's an annoying jingle. I'm never shopping at OD again.

Can you tell I hate that commercial? (I just saw it again while watching Letterman.)
It's also a total ripoff of Staple's "Easy Button," if you think about it.

Anyway, I despise those Chevy "This is Our Country - This is Our Truck" ads. It's like, you're not American if you buy a Tundra or something. The entire ad is American back-patting, which - quite frankly - I'm not sure we deserve. It also says nothing notable about the product, only that it's American, and thus, better. It actually makes me want to avoid buying the product in question, much like that "Pixie" Calibur ad.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
