Kind of a snotty

reply to the neighbor. Kind of gets me too.

Yep. Disrespectful.

Not only disrespectful

But seriously - what's a computer? Are you that freaking stupid.

This is one of those commercials that gets under my skin

tbonfig : 12/12/2017 11:46 am : link

so quickly.

The kid has access to the world at her fingertips and yet is idiotic enough not to know what a computer give? Give me an f'in break.

It's like someone saying

tbonfig : 12/12/2017 11:47 am : link

"What's a watch"?

I think they're implying that she knows and is trying to be a smartass (e.g. "it's an iPad, not a computer")

Either way, it annoys me as well.

What�s a cassette tape.

Has technology really advanced to the point kids don�t know what a computer is? Annoying

I keep hoping that tree it's sitting in

Gets hit by lightning.

When I see that commercial

JohnF : 12/12/2017 11:56 am : link

it reminds me of "Hidden Figures", the movie. Only in the early 60's, the question would be "Who is that Computer?"

Haha it took me a couple times and I thought you made a typo or something and I was very confused....but I see what you did there!

How many 12 year olds

section125 : 12/12/2017 12:01 pm : link

say good bye to mom in the morning and mom says see you for supper?

Maybe 40 years ago. But how many parents let their kids ride around a major city unaccompanied all day long?

I had a college professor once asked the class

Bold Ruler : Mod : 12/12/2017 12:01 pm : link

'what is a chair'? And it was one of the most interesting discussions I've ever been a part of.

Yep. Did you go to college in NJ?

Do they purposely

bradshaw44 : 12/12/2017 12:05 pm : link

Try and make you guess if that�s a girl or a boy?

In Vermont they may not know what a chair is.....

The minute I heard her name was "Scout"

I knew it was going to be one of those commercials I hate.

But I don't think anything can top my hatred for the Lexus Xmas commercials with the kids transforming into adults. Only Lexus can make a commercial where I want to punch the kids.
The one with the red-haired lady looks like she could star in a horror flick with that 10' wingspan

So...off hand, tell me what is a chair?

Could not agree more. Super Toyotas and people act like it is the best thing that ever happened to them.

No if Mrs Section comes up with 512BB I might feel the same way...

I don't know but I'll know one when I see on.....a separate seat for one person, typically with a back and four legs.

This commercial bugs me to LOL

I always find peace in thinking that girl gets taken by a demogorgon when gets older. LOL

Must be a college professor thing

Seems as if your 2 year old is using your iPad right now on your handle haha

Banks : 12/12/2017 1:19 pm : link

it unintentionally gives off the impression that it's more of a toy than a practical learning device.

it is a pretty clever line...

in this commercial has a very punch-able face and it isn't helped with that line at the end.
