Worst recent commercials
Those smarmy Cadillac commercials:
"Does it return the favor?"
"Oh have I said too much?" I'd really like to punch that guy in the face, whoever he is.
The Microsoft "I am a PC" answer commercials to the Apple "I'm Mac, I'm a PC" commercials.
All the credit card debt consolidation commercials.

A Gashlycrumb Tinies Halloween countdown
I've decided to post all the couplets from Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies in a celebration of creepiness. I'll post another one every couple of days on the way to Halloween.
Here's the first one:
A is for Amy who fell down the stairs
B is for Basil assaulted by bears
