with the exception of Honda.

(the ones with the little rhymes and rabbits, and that one with all the car parts made up into a, whaddaya call it? chain reaction obstacle course type thingy... they're class)

No company except Honda should be allowed to advertise on telly, especially that good awful *adopts stupid mincing voice* when beautiful talks, people listen, when beautitful farts, people take a deep breath..... blah blah blah yeah die already.

Hm, sorry, got a bit carried away.

I appear to be with you on the wishing Bad Things onto advertising execs.

I do hope you are english like I am making up memories of you being, or i'm currently talking even more crap than usual.

oh I was in upstate NY once, near Albany I believe, somewhere in the Adirondacks?

You guys have the prettiest shiniest hugest dragonflies and damselflies I have ever seen, Id move there this instant just for the bug life.

And for the frogs that can do impressions of small bears.

But no, most car ads in this country are nausiating - hell bent on trying to convince you that buying there car will instantly transform you into one of 'the beautiful people', all with poncy camera tricks and an overuse of stickinstect models.

But Honda tend to focus on their engines and reliability and the good things about the car not about the people they'd like to convince you you can pick up in the car.

Which I like they appear to have an ethical consience as well, so its all cool.

Yes, I know Albany well; it's where my son want to go to college next year. The Adirondacks Park is possibly the most beautiful country on the planet. Albany is a bit SE of the park, we're just to the SW, almost on the very edge. We hike there often.

I can't say I could pick Honda commercials out of the rest, I ignore them all equally and rarely watch television at all unless it's recorded so I can skip past. I'd rather wait a year for a whole season of a good show to come out on DVD than to sit through a single commercial "break." I do think Hondas are great cars, though; my venerable old ride until a few weeks ago was an Accord which I loved nearly to death.

oh, it was an Accord that the obstacle ad was for.
Thats it, if I ever get to buy a new car, i'll go for a honda. In honour of you dearly loved old ride and the fact that when that ad was on people would gather to watch it.

That's probably a good choice, yes. When we replaced the Dear Old Accord, a hybrid Civic was very high on the list of candidates. The main reason we didn't go that route was the rear seat couldn't fold down because of where they put the battery. I can't have a car where the rear seats don't fold down, that extra cargo space is just too valuable. If they were to sort out those kinds of design issues methinks they'd give the Prius a serious run of it.

yes, a ha.

Sorry, I do think I know what you are saying, its a pity when little things lite that dtract from an otherwise great design. but I'm afraid this is where my blonde brain kicks in, my preferences for this car over that one or somesuchother is usually based on 'oooooh! shinys!'

I'm not yet a driver, know very little about engines and the practical workings. I'm basically at the point of 'they gotta have and engine that don't fall out, five wheels and enough space for a very large dog (of course, being a pretty colour and having AC all sorts of snazzy safety features and a cd player don't go amiss)'

so please, honestly, please forgive me if I just start nodding and making u huh noises.

Car ads in the US are ridiculous, too. Especially, right now, the SUV ones that are trying to convince us that we'd be much cooler people (and the envy of all around us) if we bought the gas guzzlers. Bah!

Don't even get me started on Hummers. I wish my car at rocket launchers just so I could take out every Hummer I saw.

Yayness! Just got a call that the group I roof houses with is doing another Habitat for Humanity roof at the end of the month. I finally get to test out the roofing pouch my sister got me for Christmas. *squee*

You don't need rocket launchers. For you're cash straped Jolly Roger the french off route mine can be employed with a remote detonator.

Oh and hi everyone, believe it or not I'm still alive.

I think.

Oh, does anyone still need a roomie for D*C, cause I'm starting to think about going, and I'll need to get some idea of planage.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

well, there's a large gaggle of men-type folk going, LMD, Jadehand, my brother Ath and many many more. I'm sure you can bunk with some/all of them.

Can't speak for them, obviously, but I'm sure there will be a few rooms jammed packed with lovely browncoat men. (that includes you, m'dear!)
