I finally saw this commercial last night and immediately joined the "I am
very annoyed by this commercial" club. What were they thinking????!!!

Okay, this new Dominos commercial is driving me nuts! Anyone else? Why did
they use commercial recording artists to record opera-style music? I mean,
geesh! There's a TON of talent out there that could have done this SO much
better! . . .


A friend of mine in the PR business tells me that those singers and actors
that do commercial voice-over work are a closed society. They actively
protect their ground and it is very difficult to become one of them. Knowing
that, would you be surprised that they just turn up the quadraverb and
bellow like cattle? It is, after all, a caricature of real life anyway.
