Driving through Kentucky a few weeks ago I passed two tractor-trailers that belonged to a casket manufacturer. On the back of each was the slogan: "Slow down! We can wait for your business."

In 58 years I thought I'd seen some BAD ad campaigns, but never have I encountered one as irritating as the current "Who let the dogs out?" pitch for some car company.

Running a pretty close second, though, was the series of ads a few years ago with some pimply-faced dork yelling Ca-CHING! over and over.

Thank goodness for VCRs so I can zap through commercials on the few shows I watch on channels that run commercials.....
