High Tops and other terrible commercials

Now I know Sketchers made these but this has got to be the worst out of them all. What the heck were they thinking? First of all, the animations suck. Second, the music sucks. And third, the entire commercial sucks. It shouldn't even be put on Telivision 'cause it sucks so bad. Three words: This Commercial Sucks. Everyone knows that. Plus, if they think they can get boys to say,"OH! That girl on there is evil! She turned the bully into a frog!", they're wrong. In fact, I punched my TV to make it stop.(Which of course wouldn't work.) I know that commercial's for girls, but girls as far as I know, hate it. I even made up a list of commercials that suck.
1:High Tops
2:Elastica
3:Airaraitors
4:Martian Matter
5:Kidz Bop
6:Fun Slide
7:Moon Shoes
8:Hover Round
9:Hungry Hungry Hippos
10:Crayola Chalk
There. If you don't agree with me, don't flame. I doubt you wouldn't flame. Anyway, even number 10 I think is terrible. This is a list, not a survey. So, go ahead and tell me what YOU think.

Not that I know of.
And about the verb, basically, I think it's trying to make a few quick bucks, and trying to make boys feel,offesnsive.

Commercials like that are just designed to make everyone feel cool about wearing the advertisers product. They've existed for years, so I'd assume some poll or another must have proven they work.

People who wear crocs are stupid. They get addicted to them and wear them all the time.

"Oh no, it's raining! Where's my crocs?"

"Gasp! A sewage spill! I can't walk in this? Let me just grab my crocs!"

Commercials on children's channels are aimed at the attention spans of most children. Kids focus on brighter colors, quicker scenes and loud music, that's why they're created that way.

It's just marketing strategy, nothing special. If you watch any other channel you see a difference in commercials.

And yes we older folks had retarded commercials as well.
