… if I ever meet the ad folks who created or the corporate execs who approved Fandango’s paper bag puppet ads, particularly as I’m waiting for a movie I just spent nearly $10 for … I will crush the life out of their bodies with but a squeeze of my hand.
Talk about something that could turn you to the Dark Side …

Yes!
The ads keep me from using Fandango…I would hate for them to get the wrong impression, and thick that the ads work.
I’m not a big fan of ads before movies (I’ve freakin’ paid a bunch of money already), but those things are like a saw to the skull.
Gah! I’m glad I’m not the only one totally turned off by those ads. In the lexicon of today’s youth…
WTF?
I don’t know if anyone responds positively to those ads.
“Well, sir, in 56.6% of our test screenings before junior high school students, we found the ambient noise level and throwing of jujubees actually increased during the ads, leading our analysts to conclude that they found the ads intriguing and worth interacting with …”
I’ve never seen one. What’s so annoying about them?
You are so very lucky Avocet.
You are also very lucky that I was unable to find any of the ads on line.
Yeah, in fact there’s a distinct dearth of paper bag puppets at the actual Fandango site (I went and looked when I did the original post).
They are an effort at “coolness” through intentional crudity and stupidity of rhetoric, humor, and production value. They are are like having a Jerry Lewis schtick thrown in your face with all the elegance of a shaving cream pie in a cheap paper pie tin. Rrg.
Come the Revolution …
Huh. Sounds like South Park to me.
Yeah. South Park, minus either the creativity or the obscenity (which means, not much left).
