Holy shit, I just watched one of the most offensive commercials EVER.
AT&T. Scene: family of four, two kids, two parents. Parents are saying "there's only room to record one more show. Who should get it? Jennifer? Or Billy?" And the parents go back and forth about what each kid has going for them, so the dad says, "okay, on the count of three, say who's your favorite..." And both parents say "Jennifer!" Dad says, "ah, yeah, she's so pretty" (or something like that, which, ew). Both kids just sitting there. Then dad says, "Or we could give it to Billy, since he doesn't have anything else..."
Then the pitch for how AT&T is better.
( I found the commercial on YouTube. It's under the cut. )
Just--seriously. Who would think a commercial like this is a good idea? God.
