New Poll - Most Annoying Jewelry Commercials

Well, the results have been long in about how GMYH readers feel about Tom Crean's chances next year at IU. 53% fell that Crean will lead the Hoosiers to the first or second round of the NCAA tournament, 35% think it will be the NIT, and 12% of you bastards think that Crean will have a losing season. Unsurprisingly, no one thinks that the Hoosiers will advance to the Sweet 16 or beyond.

Tying in with my rant about my hatred of a particular galleria of jewelry, this week's poll will prey on your emotions and aural tolerances. Jared is not the only jewelry company with horrible commercials, although it should be noted that they have TWO horrible ad campaigns: "He went to Jared" AND the piercing, high-pitched "It can only be JARED!" There is Kay Jewelers' "every kiss begins with Kay" campaign that has ruined so many lives. And of course there's "J-B-R! J-B Robin-son!" Those of you in the Midwest have been subjected to the off-key musings of a middle-aged women singing "Rogers and Hollands, jewelry created for now and for-eveeerrrrr." So which jewelry store's ads are the most annoying? Jared, Kay, JB Robinson, Rogers & Hollands, or something else that I've overlooked? If you do vote for "Other," please share your thoughts, if you can hold back the vomit.

Those in Indianapolis are fortunate if they have not been in a car accident caused by attempting to change the FM dial to escape a Tom Shane commercial.

"Shane Jewelers, located just east of I-69 on Hague Road."

I second the comment about the Shane Company. Shut the fuck up, Tom Shane.
