<<Etrade sugar daddy commercial has got to go!>> Indeed. The gross-out level goes off the scale when they show her face (which looks like a weathered catchers mitt) and then the next shot is the guy pulling those white socks off. Yikes! It's so disgusting, she might as well ask Johnny to pop the boil on her butt. And those Sure Trade commercials are garbage too. Lets see, I'm marketing a financial service to high net worth individuals. So I'll make a commercial, showing a bunch of Bohemians who look like they just came in from Woodstock, and I'll have them rattle off politically correct, nebulous gibberish that has nothing to do with making a killing in the stock market. You'd think it was a commercial for gun control or saving the rain forest. I'm thinking for their next commercial, they could put all the Bohemians together and have them sing "We Are The World." You know, in that same touchy-feely manner the rest of their ads have. Those two commercials make the Audi robots seem entertaining.
