At first I thought maybe it was a Trumps lawyer thing, but that didnt turn out so well either.

The target of my ire is Choice Hotels and their stupid Badda Book, Badda Boom commercials.

If somehow you havent seen this commercial, you are 1) lucky and 2) probably do not watch TV.

Such ads make me wonder who is in charge of marketing and, more importantly, where do they find these actors that end up becoming the face of the company For example, Silly Captain Obvious is everywhere.

Sure its obvious that its stupid, so presumably theres some fairly rational reason.

I would never reserve any of your rooms because of the stupidity of those adds many of my face book friends agree.

The CEO must have a 4th grade grandchild in charge of marketing.

His acting career is OVER, not like he would have one any way.

They could have earned A LOT more business and reservations if they had selected a really cool, easy going funny guy to deliver their idiot punch line.

It could have been a fairly cool commercial, but it feels so corporate it makes me wanna puke.

But that commercial doesnt make me want To if I didnt know the brand.

Advertisers are competing for space in your head looks like they bought some.

Arbys we have the meat is pretty funny but im still not eating there.

Madison Avenue hits the consumers with a bludgeon when a simple actually clever and funny ad would be more appropriate.

Choice is promoting direct booking but frankly Bada Boom Badda Book is a nonsensical (highly stupid) way to bring attention.

And while the Company claims it is successful, it probably turns off many more potential customers than if they just said: Save x by calling us DIRECTLY and Booking your room.

I think I have a discount points card for every major chain and then some.

Dont travel Iike that anymore but if I still did, I guarantee you that because of this annoying commercial I would avoid all choice hotels, even if the deal was great.

Please spare us this putz and his obnoxious and stupid phrase.

My wife claims that as long I remember the catch phrase, it doesnt matter to the advertiser if I like it.

I read the same thing in a textbook on advertising psychology in college.

I disagree. Why would the maker of a consumer product want to purposely annoy prospective customers It makes no sense (to me, anyhow).

Either youre lying about your credentials or your brain has stopped thinking.

Why would I want to book a hotel that is apparently run by the mob.
