Grill: Another lame attempt at a commercial

Sat, 29 Apr 2000 01:47:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author david_n_dc - Well what can I say, another lame attempt at a commercial. It seems that all of the ads (with the exception of the minivan ad) are all directed to shock the viewer. If this commercial is supposed to reflect upon the epinions community count me out. I...
