I was going to write a post earlier today about things that annoy me, and the current biggest annoyance is the stupid horrible Toyota "Saved By Zero" ad campaign. I swear to god it's on during every commercial break all day on Q104.3. I've considered stopping listening to the radio entirely to just

mizerychick and I dove for the remote like it's a fumbled football when that ad comes on. I've never appreciated a DVR more than when that ad is playing.

It's that they use only 4 notes of the song that makes it so horrible. Plenty of ads have lifted songs more inappropriately (HP's "Pictures of You" ads are still the winner); but I continually get a few notes of songs stuck in my head - to the point where I want to perform a self lobotomy with a shrimp fork. Toyota's campaign is practically psychological warfare.

Not to mention the fact that the Fixx has said that the song is both about masturbation and hitting the bottom point of your life. Nice job, Toyota.

I think the NFL's Every Day Is Like Sunday has eclipsed HP for the most inappropriate ad music ever. Hyundai rounds out the top three with Thick As A Brick.

I gotta go with "Lust for Life" selling cruise ships.

I joined the "Stop playing Saved by Zero" FB group. :) It's gotten to the point where I practically have to mute the TV / change the radio station and count backwards from 10 to avoid assaulting someone or driving the damn car off the road.
