I can't stand it anymore

Yahoo is running this disgusting banner ad for some freakin anti-fungal nail treatment. Every time I check my e-mail I have to face scurvy, yellow-nailed rotting toes popping up on my screen. GAH!

The ad says 1 out of 7 people has nail fungus. That means the other six of us don't need to see this ad. Spare me, please, my toenails are fine! Take your crusty, discolored, raggedy-ass decrepit toes and get them out of my face. NOW!

That crap, whether depicted in cartoon or real-life, is pure nasty! Today I was swimming with the kids and I lifted them out to put them both on the deck. I then pushed myself up and out, and right there, inches from my face as I was stuck half-in-half-out like a circus seal, was a man's foot. It had at least 4 toes afflicted with that grunge and I just about barfed all over him. Now that I think about it, maybe the stomach acid would've killed some of the nastiness...

I hate that ad too. But the one that I hate even more is the "light the fart" one. I was incredulous when I first saw it. It's an INTERACTIVE ad in which you're supposed to use a cigarette lighter and click it at the precise moment when the little cartoon guy lets one fly. Ew. I'll be the first to admit that my sense of humor is often tasteless, but even I thought that was a pretty poor way to advertise a business. I can't even remember what the ad was for. I do know that it wasn't for an anti-gas product. Ew.

There was this commercial running a while ago that was kind of cartoon-ish, with these disgusting green toenails and then little animated fungi (funguses? fungi?) running around invading the toenail....made my stomach turn, I tell ya.

Yeah.. .that grosses me out, too.

Ugh! Sort of reminds me of the commercial for Mucinex, which depicts a big animated blob of mucus moving in and making himself at home in your body.
