Pros: It May Have An Edge Over The Preview Guide
Cons: Conspicuous Consumption Of Stuff We May Not Really Need

I don't know what, but there is something downright mesmerizing about those friendly folk that hawk product in the media wasteland that is late night tee vee. Infomercials, those blown up Big Bubba cousins of commercials have sucked my...

Pros: Affordable rangefinders, nifty "new" lenses, and lots of classic Leica SM lenses.
Cons: None at all

Voightlander was one of the classic German camera firms, like Rolleiflex, Leica, Exacta, and Contax. Unable to compete with the onslaught of Japanese SLR and rangefinder cameras in the 50's and 60's, the firm went belly up. In the latest pairing of a...

Pros: great story told without words
Cons: none

I love the new wave of soft drink commercials. My favorite is the Coke commercial where the young man has been dumped by his girlfriend. As she moves her things out of their apartment, assisted by her new muscle-bound boyfriend, the former boyfriend...

Pros: very funny
Cons: none

I'm a Pepsi drinker. That being said, I still love the new crop of Coke commercials. I don't know who the writers are for these hilarious ads but I like the way they think. These people have a decidedly twisted sense of humor!

The most...

Pros: They Give You A Chance To Grab A Snack or Take A Bathroom Break
Cons: They Might Be Brainwashing The General Population! (-:

I totally agree with mytigoddess's opinion! I also think that to a degree many commercials are necessary, and yes some of them crack me up, but along with many TV shows, they have crossed the line on what they will air nowadays. Unmentionables...

Pros: Entertainment
Cons: Watch yur fingers!

There's a wurld a difference between a plain old annoyin' commericial and one of those wonderful, entertanin' infomercials.

Every Saturday mornin, supplied with Ding Dongs and Slim Jims, I pull my old rocker up to the Zenith and prepair...

Pros: a great medium to sell your wares
Cons: a great way to annoy the masses

Is there nothing more annoying than getting caught up in a great story, the tension is all built up, and suddenly at the climax of the drama, the screen fades to black. Why?

Apparently Monistat 3 has decided it is very important for me to...

Pros: Can be informativ
Cons: Deal with too much body leakage!

Now, as ya know there are funny commercials, sad ones, clever ones, boring ones and EMBARASSIN' ONES!

And, like alot of folks here at Epinions, I hate it when the embarassin' ones come on with a family member round. Not only do ya have ta see...

Pros: funny
Cons: they ended up doing what they condemned other stores for

What can I say? This was a fabulous commercial. The first time my husband and I seen it, we looked at each other and just started busting out laughing!!

TOYS-R-US ran this commercial before Christmas in order to point out the fact that they...

Pros: Easy to use, versatile, handy home copier.
Cons: Can't think of any.

This is a great, multi-purpose machine for the home office and/or small office! At $189.98 the price isn't too bad either! Versatility and ease of use are the hallmarks of this product. While it does not have an internal answering machine, you can easily...

Pros: quick, easy-to-understand instructions for webpage building
Cons: none

This is my fourth in a series of articles on webtv and its capabilities. One easy and fun project available to webtv'ers is creating webpages. Webtv provides three megabytes of free storage space for each user to create a webpage using pictures, text,...

Pros: Affords me the opportunity to easily identify, and laugh at, stupid people
Cons: Aforementioned stupid people make my life just that much more difficult by promoting the existence of lousy chain stores

I wish I could incorporate the sort of obnoxious HTML into this Epinion that would make it commercial-like: blinking, flashing, loud and utterly useless.

Consider, please, all the truly awful products we now have thanks to advertising....

Pros: Good time to grab a snack or throw some clothes in the dryer
Cons: way too many of them

It happened! After many years of fine tuning out the tasteless, mind numbing, seemingly endless, downright dumb commercials we put up with each time we sit down to view a T.V. program, I let one slip into my subconscious and incubate there.

Pros: It could work
Cons: I'm not wealthy

I'm a night owl, but have never been one to tune in to the ever popular, but deceiving infomercial.
I wouldn't think of sitting and watching one of these half hour long sales pitches with a bunch of out of work actors, portraying an over excited...

Pros: A chance to win a million dollars!!
Cons: An even greater chance you won't win a million dollars.

I really like the new coca cola commercials, it allows the "victim" to win. An example, a teenage boy is on the subway when it blacks out 3 or 4 times and each time it blacks out this man gets closer and closer to him until he's sitting right...
