This company (Sling TV) has an absolutely abhorrent commercial that is played over and over again through the news on channel 7 (5 p.m. - 7 p.m.) I used to watch channel 7 news every night and now I can't due to this offensive commercial. I am sure they are paying a lot for the time slot but you are losing loyal fans.
I love the "slinger" commercials! Mistaken impressions are the funniest form of humor, and these commercials get it just right! Anyone who thinks something like this is vulgar has clearly not lived much.
What... Not lived much. Nothing is sacred anymore. Put this garbage on the playboy or adult channels. Not regular tv.
You come off as being a "lady of the night". Yes, you sound like someone who enjoys these commercials. You, too, are disgusting.
I have "lived" quite a lot, and spent years around very unsavory people. Having said that, I have never seen any creepier ads on mainstream commercial television than these vile and obscene sling commercials. Do they really think that a creepy crawly guy who looks like a werewolf making predatory comments to a male neighbor, and his female partner who looks like a low priced streetwalker from San Francisco's Tenderloin district is attractive? Who are they appealing to? Perverts and 13 year old boys? Who would possibly think this is alluring?
Who says mistaken impressions are the funniest form of humor? It’s not about the type of humor displayed in these commercials, it’s the subject matter and the WAY it’s presented with these two sleazy people creeping on their friends & neighbors. You’re obviously very easily entertained.
Get a grip, Joyce and company. The "slingers" vs "swingers" campaign if over!
I agree! I love these ads. They're really rather funny. People have no sense of humor.
Jen's "lived much". I can imagine what "living" is in her delusional head. Hope she gets checked for STDs on a regular basis anyhow.
Most offensive TV commercials in broadcasting history!
Horrible Tv provider. Customer care is bad . Channels they show on the website doesn't show primary shows and sling tv doesn't have any control. Once you pay that's it, no refund and it's gone as charity.
It is TERRIBLE! Go out every 2 minutes and I pay extra for CNBC !
What a joke!
Don't bother with Sling!
The Sling commercials are disgusting! They need to fire their ad agency and get someone competent to promote their product.
I’m an open minded person and understand that companies will try to be creative when advertising their product. The first time I saw your Sling TV commercial, I was disappointed that you would choice the approach that sex sales. As a baby boomer, parent and consumer I have seen many changes in television, movies and life in general throughout the years. It’s my choice to not go to a movie should I feel it is too violent or vulgar. However, I don’t have control over what commercials the television stations choose to run. Your Sling TV commercials are offensive, distasteful and your company executives may want to rethink their marketing strategy. I was very interested in replacing my current cable provider to Sling TV until I saw your tasteless advertisements. What you thought would be funny and draw attention and customers through your commercials is right up the with the Jerry Springer show, and that should be an embarrassment.
Sling has the worst commercials! Very inappropriate. Please take this vile advertising off the air! We have been tortured enough. The writers of these commercials should be fired. Just awful!
Disgusting, take the commercials off TV. Would never imagine Sling would make vulgar content for young or old to see. Sad!
The sling TV commercials are highly offensive and disgusting. It is very sad that young people have to be exposed to this type of trashy idea. I won’t be using any of your services due to your lack of common decency and total lack of respect for marriage and the vows of marriage.
will never use your service...you should be ashamed of your 'slinger' commercials. pure evil and how terrible for young people to view.
I find your "Slingers" commercial very disgusting, trashy, inappropriate. I would never consider doing business with you because of this commercial. How low and inconsiderate will you go?

I agree with YOU DK, this company should grow up before they start putting these offensive ads on TV. I certainly will NEVER do business with them !
The suggestive "Sling" TV commercials are getting even more obnoxious and offensive. Freedom of speech works if you are dealing with people who use good judgment in determining what it appropriate for general audiences to view, and/or have any moral backbone at all. It is becoming very obvious that the ad writers as well as the decision-makers at Sling have neither. These commercials are not fit for general viewing and should be banned.
ISling is a low life riffraff company
Disgusting company
Someone needs to honestly somehow sue the company. Kids are gonna want to look this stuff up. Whenever I see it on my screen, it not only offends all the religious people I know, I can't help but wonder if the next SLINGTV commercial is going to be flat-out porn.
Enough with the "The funny thing about Hannah is she skipped crawling..." and ending with the "smh" tombstone. I know that its a timely and worthwhile commercial to discourage driving and texting, but EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK!?...and sometimes OVER AND OVER during the same break! And if you try switching channels, the new channel is most likely playing the same commercial too! If you switch channels to watch another show, then return to the original channel, you find that the commercial you were trying to avoid has been PAUSED BY SLING to make you finish watching!...THEN THE SAME COMMERCIAL REPLAYS AGAIN! THIS IS TORTURE!
Hate it also, but stations keep showing this junk.
who ever developed the slingtv commercial made a huge mistake. the ad agency has branded SLINGTV as disgusting, , vile, gross.. So now when u hear the name SLINGTV you only remember that hideous guy and you dont remember why anyone should try SLINGTV. . Tho other message is if i were to get SLINGTV I will get a revolting man in my living room. Why would i do that?
That's right..
I find that commercial equally disgusting. I sent an e-mail complaint to sling tv and told them I wouldn't even consider having anything to do with their company until they removed that obnoxious ad. How come we have to resort to seeing assaults on persons to sell a product? Whoever thought of this ad is someone with very little common sense.
We find the Sling commercial that depicts "Slingers verses Swingers" very disrespectful and trashy. The revolting ad is played in the afternoon where youngsters can see it. Any company who thinks this kind of ad is okay, is not a company we would trust or want to deal with. Simple as that!
I'm in total agreement! It's disgusting and offensive, especially when my young grandchildren are in hearing and viewing distance...
I TOTALLY AGREE. wanted a streaming service, but will NOT use sling because of their raunchy commercials !
I agree. who is doing your ads anyway, a 15 yr old boy ?
I'm in total agreement. Here in Sarasota, FL we and all our children are exposed to it on TVL. Please, TV police, get to the station and the stupid "actors"? in this ad. If we allow this to continue what will the next worse ads or even, next TV shows bring to our children? I do not believe for a minute that the founders of our nation meant for this type of "freedom of speech" to be their meaning. We all need to stop buying other products being touted on this station. The only way for them to take our voices seriously is to show them via their pocketbooks.
I agree with you! Also very little moral values, might as well say a very shallow and uneducated delinquent thought this up. I wouldnt order it if it was the only way to watch tv. Marked it off my list!
I agree. I'm all in favor of sexual freedom, but the people on that commercial are hillbillies and Trump types of the lowest order.
No believe it or not the art director is a woman.
