What Do You Think of the Tamara Hope Palm Pre Ads?
The Pre, Palm's latest smartphone, is a pretty cool phone, with its attractive exterior and sleek OS, but its ads are another story. Where the first commercial featuring actress Tamara Hope was pretty epic, with a serene Buddhist scene, the most recent ads are a bit mind-boggling. In one, Hope talks of going with the flow, and more bizarrely, she admits that the Pre can do something cooler than let her read her email: it reads her mind.

Turns out you don't have to wait for the next season of The Hills to catch more of Audrina Patridge: later this month, she'll be following fellow temptress Padma Lakshmi's lead and starring in a new commercial for Carl's Jr. promoting the chain's Teriyaki Six Dollar Burger.

Last week's revelation that TiVo is rolling out their Pause Menu Ads to their Series 3 and HD TiVos aroused many opinions — some of you are annoyed at having to see more ads, while some of you think that the pause menu ads are pretty unobtrusive.

Should Having a TiVo Mean You Never See Ads?
When I got a TiVo, my motivation was basically wanting to be able to watch TV shows on my own schedule (whether that has made me smarter or cooler is debatable). Not having to watch commercials was a small reason, but a huge bonus — I paid for the DVR technology, so I felt entitled to control what I watched.

Guitar Hero Makes Risky Business For Celebs!
Though we have yet to see Tom Cruise, Guitar Hero has employed a wide gamut of celebs to play his famous role in Risky Business, but with a GH twist.

Padma's New Gig as Carl's Jr. Spokeswoman
Following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton, Top Chef hostess, Padma Lakshmi, is the latest spokeswoman of Carl's Jr. Lakshmi appears in a new commercial that depicts her seductively eating a Western bacon hamburger.

Nokia Puts Bruce Lee on N96 and in Its Commercial
Nokia has some seriously amazing people making their commercials these days; remember the epic "Fourth Screen" commercial? Recently, I found a commercial that's been airing for the past few months for the N96, and they're using old footage of martial arts icon Bruce Lee. During the ad, Lee is is playing ping pong with nunchuks (in addition to flashing his image on the phone itself).
The Boost Mobile Armpit Hair Commercial: Huh?
I get the main point of this commercial: that it's wrong for cell phone companies to charge hidden fees, sure. But why exactly is waist-length female armpit hair used to make this point? Are we supposed to be grossed out?
Are Microsoft Kid Ads Better Than Previous Microsoft Ads?
I'm human; I was totally charmed by Kylie, the little girl from the new Microsoft ads. "I'm a PC and I'm 4!" she exclaims.
