Dear lord... Just stop...

Just SHUT UP ALREADY! I am tired of hearing this commmercial! It's so stupid. I even have 3 reasons why it's so bad:

1. It's repetitive. The "how well you mow fast" thing gets old fast. Especially when you hear it 417 times. It's not funny either. And that's the the only joke it relies on.

2. It doesnt even get to the point until the last second. I want to see how much the lawnmower is!

3. It's played 2067 TIMES! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!

I know I might have been a little too pissed off, but I was so sick of hearing this sh*tfest spammed for 3 weeks straight.

Thank you so much for adding this horrible ad to the hated list. The thing I don't understand is, are they trying to make up a popular quote here? 
What in bloody hell is that expression supposed to mean? Are they saying that mowing the lawn with one of their gas guzzling mowers is fast?
Sorry, not buying it!

Meh.

Stupid? Absolutely.

Annoying? I've seen so many that are so much worse.

If it ever starts running down here (I've not seen it yet) I doubt it will ever become one of those "break a limb scrambling for the remote just to hit the mute button" ads for me.

You'd have to have a really big yard to make the cost worth it.

Otherwise, you could just pay a lawn service to take care of your yard for years for the same amount.

Goats are even cheaper!
But then, it'd be "How well you bleat fast", which I'm not sure is an improvement?  Tongue

Ya know, I got to thinking about 'how well I mow fast' and realized how little it matters!
I have slaves.

Besides, I don't think they'll do a diagonal pattern or edge along the driveway and sidewalk.

Maybe not, but they'll sh*t on it.
Try that with your fancy riding mower!
 
Those goats might also eat the flower garden if they get bored.  Smile

I had to beat and whip the slaves, yesterday.
They left both the riding and power mowers  out in the rain.

First of all when you mow the lawn you DO NOT mow fast that's how you make mistakes. You mow SLOW and carefully.

Second the idiot who coined this phrase deserves to be bonked on the head with a frying pan.

Or at least a lawn mower blade.
Preferably freshly sharpened.

That's how I've always looked at it-- just take your time, and you'll more often than not get a professional job that you can be proud of.
