When does a network testing man get annoying? When the only thing he can say is "Can you hear me now? Good." with a tone so smug you could bounce Dick Cheney off of it. And just when it seemed like the character was retiring, they added an army of network technicians to back him up. Verizon Guy sets nerds back in their struggle to be loved and accepted. I don't think his glasses even have lenses.

A fad diet now owned by Kraft and sold as prepackaged food sounds like a healthy choice to me.

When everyone's a cyborg, we'll look back at bluetooth headsets as the point were we could have taken a different path. I hope life hasn't become so busy that we can't stop long enough give a conversation our undivided attention. Plus, a headset wearer looks like he's talking to himself, is a total prick, or both.

Single handedly destroying the boundary between work and personal life, all under the guise that it's making life easier.

If Chevy was going to copy another company's designs, you think they could aim a little higher than the already ugly PT Cruiser.

Nothing more than a scam to dump millions of perfectly fine TVs into landfills, these fancy flat panels put a premium price on what used to be cheap time waste. As a child, anyone that spent more than $1000 on a TV was either rich or a fool. Now the average set far exceeds that threshold. And people are buying them.

Wasteful, ostentatious, and unashamed: a perfect reflection of its buyer.

How whole foods is different than a normal grocery store: price, packaging, image. But like a regular store, the bulk of it's products are prepackaged. And like a regular store, it has a mix of organic and conventional produce. You can make healthier Cheetos, sure, but they're still just Cheetos. For a store that aims to help the consumer make healthy choices, they could have kept packaged foods out of their inventory. But they know that people want them, so instead they make you pay out the ass for a mildly healthier version. Hypocrites.

The reasons are obvious.

This is a product that says it's okay to be ashamed of your own skin. Blemishes and skin imperfections are a part of life. Having eerie, skin-colored gunk covering the abscesses of clog pores is worse looking, trust me. This is as effective as putting perfume on a homeless man.

There is no need for a heavily scented, repurposed shampoo.

You can be a rebel without riding a ridiculously proportioned, noise polluting motorcycle. Chopper riders are trying too hard.

Secret Deodorant's tagline has devolved in the last decade from "Strong enough for a man, PH balanced for a woman" to the streamlined "Strong enough for a man, made for a woman" to "Strong, like a woman." First of all, this is deodorant. How is deodorant a credible or even appropriate source for empowering messages? Arianna Huffington can say this. She means it. She is a woman. But what does a stick of chemicals know about women's struggle for equality?

The design firm that refreshed Chevron's logo are evil geniuses. They got paid a truckload of money to basically add a gradient to Chevron's old logo. The typeface is a little friendlier now, but the chevron looks less like a chevron and more like two folded ribbons. Not only does their design butcher a simple classic, but it is harder to reproduce, harder to read from a distance, and a costly change in signage for all the stations.

I don't care what they say, there's nothing interesting about this Windows release. There a lot stuff going on behind the scenes, but to me it's just a shinier XP. So cut the hype; it's as transparent as Aero's title bars.

As obese and cheap looking as the people that buy it. A used couch has more character than an entire Haverty's store.

Throw a lowercase "i" in front of the name and jack up the price–instant iPod accessory. And because many of these devices interface through proprietary means, they die with their host. It's bad enough that all the old model ipod get junked when the batteries die or a new model comes out, but now all of the speakers, remotes, car adapters, and more have to get dumped too.

Don't let your busy lifestyle get in the way of eating panini sandwiches! Just pop one of these high-tech boxes into the microwave for the most authentic microwave sandwich flavor outside of a D-grade Italian bistro.

Germs are gross and all, but they're part of life. You can use scare tactics all you want Lysol, but I know that keeping germs out of my house is a losing battle. And if you could see the house I grew up in, you'd know that you can live just fine in the stuff of Lysol's nightmares.
