    And what is it with actors from t.v.’s “According to Jim” hawking franks of some form or another. First it was Jim Belushi selling Johnsonville Brats, now the brother-in-law selling Ball Park Hot Dogs.

    I would not be a sad girl if I never heard the word girthy again. I think I need to go take a shower after watching that dude bite into that GIRTHY frank.

    Check out televisionwithoutpity.com’s forums, especially the TV Potluck: Commercial Thread. We’re all creeped out by Mr Girthy.

    Television advertisers NEED to be slapped. Most definitely. A few examples that are currently irking me:· The most recent Midol commercial is really getting to me. Picture girls on the beach, in bathing suits. Girl A is wearing a bikini…
