I hate that Kajol's alpenliebe like plague. Really cannot stand even the sound track of that s**t. And I stopped alpenliebe as well.

and i hate ads which show actors like doctors. and they make claims which are largely false in nature. if they do have to show doctors giving advice on screen, they should hire real doctors who can later be sued for telling lies on television if they are caught lying.
