Blog of the week: The TV Commercial Blog focuses on the “good, the bad and the ugly!” of television commercials. It also allows visitors to critique the ads. It has current commercials, such as the Mac and PC conversation series, and old ones, such as the famous 1984 Apple ad. And it’s not limited to computer commercials. Its entries run from cars to Skittles. Praise your favorite ones and lambaste those you hate at tvcommercialblog.com.
