You, fair GMYH readers, have confirmed what I had already strongly suspected (and would believe with all my heart, if I had one): Jared is the jewelry store (read: galleria) with the most annoying commercials. 59% of you said so, with 23% going with Kay, 12% going with Other, 6% going with Rogers & Holland, and no one going with JB Robinson.
So that begs the question, which ad campaign should be crowned the most annoying ad campaign in the country, Jared or Mac? Obviously Jared has its many faults. However, in the past few years, Mac ads have become increasingly painful to watch. In the beginning it was kitschy -- a young, dodgeball-throwing hipster as the Mac quarreling with an old suit as the PC about which type of computer was cooler. But now, sweet Jesus, that motherfucking Mac is more smug than Gene Simmons. And for what? Because his hair kind of looks like Pete Wentz's and he wears jeans? That's not something to be outwardly self-satisfied about. Because of him, my desire to buy a Mac has actually decreased, which you would have thought was impossible, since I was previously at a 0.0000001% chance of buying a Mac. The ads have managed to make me empathize with the PC guy, even though I now find him difficult to look at. After 30 commercials, we get it: Mac has a chip on its shoulder. That point was beaten to death long ago.

Generally I agree with you, but you got it all wrong this time. Mac commercials are some of the best, you're totally on crack. People who buy PC's also vote for GW. You have really let me down.
I think a better poll would be Jared vs Jared (Subway)
The only thing that is larger than the number of dollars that Steve Jobs lost Apple by refusing to license the original MAC operating system is the ego of his that caused him to take that action.
MAC ads are annoying. Agreed. The ad should read: "Mac. We are not Microsoft; it is all our fault too. We are still whining about it too."
Jared the galleria of douche would win hands down though. Jared (subway boy)? Do not even get me started on that ass-clown.
Anonymous, I assume your last name is Ullmer or Rohrer.
Marc, give the guy a break. He lost 240 pounds. Go Hoosiers.
yeah, by walking from his apartment down 2 flights of stairs to the subway at 3rd and woodlawn. bully for him. he's a no talent assclown that claims his life has changed "so much since he's now on the TALENT SIDE OF THE BUSINESS" jesus. kill me now.
