OK, so the accents and some of the dialogue this season were supremely cringe, but I *loved* Jennifer Jason Leigh, Juno Temple, Jon Hamm and Dave Foley

Kinda rough to end up with Denver, BU, BC and Michigan – Goldy knocked out by BU, Bucky knocked out by Quinnipiac and UND knocked out by Michigan. That’s gotta hurt the per-cap…

Top 7 Worst Ad Channels πŸ‘Ž

Posted March 29, 2024

Usually try to keep it positive around here, but wow are ads getting terrible:

  • iOS gaming ads
  • Anything on YouTube
  • Hulu (With Ads)
  • Over the air radio ads
  • Instagram “Sponsored” content
  • Email spam/junk folders
  • Most commercial websites

Could we at least get back to having funny ones? Oh, almost forgot about movie theaters that show anything other than upcoming trailers…
