Vulgar Commercials... my thoughts

By vulgar, I don't mean obscene. I mean a commercial that almost makes me sick to my stomach. There are more flashing lights than a disco and the music (loud obnoxious version of Hailt to the Chief) sounds like a Marilyn Manson concert. That's what I bring back from the GM Presidents Day televison spots. They run the same creative for Pontiac Buick and GMC, and for some reason the spots don't sit well with me. It's very harsh on my ears and the colors and flashing lights make me feel like I'm watching the Blair Witch Project. Apparently I'm not the only one, here are several links to message boards I've found with people who have no connection to the ad world that get the same feeling:
