It's an adverb and it requires the "ly". I remember the commercial...which is what they want, but I remember it negatively, which is bad for them. I think, how freaking ignorant...makes it look like they don't know what they're doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768680258541622888.post-32926166419171541242014-10-31T16:33:11.861-04:002014-10-31T16:33:11.861-04:00I'm with ya!!!!!I'm with ya!!!!! blackstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348483736416151055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768680258541622888.post-41360102813954424892014-10-31T16:26:25.236-04:002014-10-31T16:26:25.236-04:00Haven't even read the whole article, yet. Got...Haven't even read the whole article, yet. Got to the part where you shouted "LY" at the TV! I had the EXACT same reaction when I saw it on the side of a SEPTA bus (Philly). Grates my nerves that so much money is spent on a campaign, but not enough to hire a proper editor. However, I can guarantee that they will contend that it was done intentionally. Now, I'll go read the rest. lolblackstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348483736416151055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768680258541622888.post-4314761931436039092013-11-20T22:18:39.568-05:002013-11-20T22:18:39.568-05:00Love it!

MWAH! Now you...Bryan, Thanks for joining my blog. MWAH! Now you can vomit.<br /><br />Don't know if you had this commercial where you are, but in Philly Independence Blue Cross used to run a commercial guaranteed to be loathed by everyone on the planet over the age of 50. To the tune of "I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now," the spot featured a montage of shots of a young child aging in stages until about age 65 over the course of a minute. There were several different versions too. What moron 30 year old approved this ad? This is the nightmare of every older person anguished over how fast we age; how wonderful to see a young boy doing pull ups joyfully turn into me in a fucking minute! I wanted to throw stuff at the TV whenever I saw this. Ironically it must have been successful for them because it ran for a long time.<br /><br />Okay, thanks again. Got that off my chest.Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.com
