Comcast HD ads = stupid

Comcast is running TV ads pushing their HD service, and they're all variations on a theme -- two people having a conversation, one opens his or her mouth and out comes music. They're not singing, they're lip syncing, as the real song plays.

The other person responds as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

The only problem is that the ads make no goddamn sense whatsoever. The songs have little, if anything to do with the conversations the people are having, and do absolutely nothing to sell Comcast or its HD service. It's not clever, it's not witty, it's not even particularly well-done. It's just stupid.
