I understand those annoying BK commercials are extremely inexpensive to
make. All it takes is
licensing a popular song, shooting footage of food being made and the rest
is all white text on a black screen...there are no actors in the
commercials, so no on-screen people have to get paid, and there's minimum,
if any, voiceovers.
The Gap commercials
>don't bother me as much, seeing as they use current artists, at least
Those are okay, and most of them have little or no music. Except for that
Khaki/Swing dancing commercial...that annoys me, especially that OVER OVER
OVERDONE super 90s cliche computer trick of freeze framing a scene and
having it revolve...ENOUGH ALREADY!
There. I said it.
