God, You're So Creepy

Commercials recently have crossed the threshold of "Wow, that's kinda weird and uncomfortable," to "God, that's so creepy." Here are the two that have been the most unforgivable.

1. Tamara Hope in the Palm Pre commercials
"I was walking in the park. After lunch. When I saw this woman juggling..." Yeah, right, we know you don't go out into the daylight. Your eyebrows, lips, hair, and skin are all the same color. If you did go out, it'd be with a black umbrella, long sleeves, and long pants, listening to the soundtrack to WoW. And you have a jewel-encrusted iPhone. Don't lie. I'm not the only one that feels this way:

2. Billy Mays' pitches. STILL
But dammit if my world doesn't shimmer just the tiniest when I see him sell me OrangeGlo. RIP, Billy!
