Sales Genie

I cannot stand Sales Genie! Their ads make me want to scream.
First it was the ads with the guy in an Office. Everyone is worried and this one guy has some sales leads, so he drives a Ferrari? Give me a break.
Then came the set of ads with children and gifts "Mommy is a salesman and last year she worked really hard, but she didn't make a lot of money (frowny). But then my daddy got her this thing called SalesGenie.com, now she spends a lot more time with me and (whisper) she's making a lot more money" The mom then appears with two yellow labrador puppies and your heart melts as the girl screams "PUPPIES!."
My initial reaction to this ad was "Brilliant." It made making money for your family the important thing, and I bet they have more people buy their product.
Sadly, I work on a trading floor and I hear this ad on CNBC ALL DAY LONG. I have to cover my ears, literally, when this commercial comes on!!!
