Ever have a commercial bug the $hit out of you?

Yes, it's about Viagra, but that isn't what bothers me. [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=y1ZqQ55T25c#!]   Toward the end of the commercial, they show the boat sailing with the sun behind it. The only problem is that the jib is backwinded and if you look carefully, it looks like there is a line off the bow as though it is being towed. They think they are fooling people, but it just makes them look stupid[/video]

Really PSP? You had me watch a Viagra commercial about 10 times to try and see what you are talking about?!?!? :lol: JKJKJKJKJKSeriously though, I would have never picked up on those things you mentioned because I have no idea about sailing. I was raised in the desert, not next to the open ocean that you are so lucky to be living near. I tried hard to see the line that is pulling the sailboat, but couldn't find it. There was a commercial that aired on of our small local channels advertising schooling. It had a chick who was a waitress dancing like she was a pop/rap dancer and it went on to where she got an education and got a higher paying job. (it didn't show all that but that's the idea of the commercial). That's not what bugged me about it. What bugged me was that my guy friend made a comment that she was a good looking chick and that got stuck in my head. Every time I saw that commercial, all I could think of was UGH! What does he see in her??? HAHAHAHASpeaking of commercials, my daughter just shot one on Friday. She works for a dental office and they had her appear in the commercial. She said she didn't want to do it unless she was just in the background. They had her in the background until she had to say her name, how long she has been with the company and then finished with a big Thanks Dental Village! . So much for staying in the background. lol I have yet to see the commercial. Oh, they paid her $50! Cheapskates! :lol:

The rope doesn't show up well on the monitor, but I can see it on our TV, so I took a screen grab of the offending shot and lightened it up using Photoshop::weird:

I was able to see that (what you have circled), but I thought is was a wake on the water. No?

Ok, I see it now! The line that goes across the mountain and not the line I see in the water. You did say it looks like the rope is attached to the bow. :homer:
