Irritating TV adverts

Don't you find some TV ads so irritating you want to throw something at the TV and maybe bitch slap whoever dreamed up such drivel? Currently the most irritating ad on TV IMO is one of those home security alarm companies. I'm sure you have seen the one where the guy is jogging along and stops to tie his shoe as the husband kisses his wife goodbye and then drives off. As the car disappears the bad guy pulls his hood up and runs to kick in the door, at which time the alarm goes off and the woman, who's doing dishes (yeah right) jumps and drops the dish as the guy runs away and a smarmy alarm company guy calls to ask if shes alright, to which she says "I think someone tried to break in."
Do you think lady? The front door in splinters wasn't enough of a clue for ya? Of course the implication here is that with the Whiz-Bang Alarm Company's service, you poor defenseless ladies wont be raped by hoodie wearing white guys.
For once I would like to see a more realistic ad....
Same scenario up till the guy kicks in the door.....
Cut to the woman doing dishes, she carefully puts the plate down silently...
Her right hand goes behind her back, camera angles to show a compact .45 caliber 1911 in a pancake holster in the small of her back being drawn.....
Gun drawn and braced pointed at the door to the hallway....
Bad guy bursts into the kitchen.... and skids to a halt....
Housewife orders scumbag to lie down and spread 'em...
Womans calls 911 and police are shown hauling bad guy off in cuffs.
Alternate ending -
Housewife orders scumbag to lie down and spread 'em...
Bad guy lunges toward woman, (she been to the range every week since she was 12) who expertly puts a massive round through his upper chest, puncturing a lung, breaking the clavicle, and blowing out the shoulder joint....
Bad guy, moaning in pain, is roughly hauled away by police....
Smarmy alarm guy is attacked by crazed hamsters.
Now THAT would be a cool ad!
