    The most annoying commercials in the universe. - Slate Magazine

    Another edition of the "Ads We Hate" mailbag from Slate. Love it.

    Quoted: The slogan on Greyhound's most recent ad campaign: "There's a reason you've never heard of 'bus rage.' " A clever line, extolling the alleged laid-back nature of bus travel. Two problems. 1) I myself have experienced "bus rage"—every single time I've ridden a bus. 2) The ads went up just in time for the occurrence of what must be the absolute worst case of bus rage in history.

    Quoted: The US will have a female president next year - on the Fox series "24."

    Quoted: Congratulations to Ugly Betty for your Golden Globe nomination!
