ODS made some decent ads there for a while. The man's parents getting back together, the legendary island of shoes. Those were clever and acted pretty well.

But this new one, where they people refuse the handshake to accept a job as they are holding out for ODS.
I saw the one with two women and chuckled a bit.

Of course I hate how the woman says through the window at the end, "not without ODS" but that's just my own pet peeve on how people enunciate.

THEN I see the same set up and premise and it's two men.
Same ad!
It was only slightly clever the first time ODS.
Do they really think they need to cover both genders to convey the message?
"We better show that women are also powerful and determined to fight for the right coverage!"

Never heard of ODS.  What does it stand for?

some insurance company.. hang on, maybe it is regional... Ooooooh see I made an error.
Unless you are oregonian  it will make no sense.

I guess I shoulda researched further. I assumed it was a national insurance company.

so now I must suffer this commercial alone

Been there, done that.
 
There's a Comcast On-Demand commercial I was going to post about.  And they actually had it on youtube, so I wouldn't have to describe it!!  Alas, watching it, I realized it was a Sacramento area commercial...so forget it.  But just let it be said that I want the couple in it to croak.
