as a sidetrack before i even get started, they've totally changed their name to "Empire Today", right? they never say "Empire Carpet" like back in the day, nor do they even use the naked "Empire"... now it's like *always* "Empire Today". what gives, people? pressure marketing much?

anyway, have you noticed how his voice has changed? massive, massive lisp at this point. my theory is dentures or false teeth.

thoughts?

fuck those guys - i just had them install some carpet 2 weeks ago.

Good god nothing annoys me more except for the people who sing the pohne number.

As a good friend of mine once said "Phone numbers do not need to be sung.*"

That's got to be the one commercial I refuse to sit through. I have to mute it or change the channel...or maybe get out more.

The empire carpet guy. Hmmm.
Yeah, I can totally see where I 'lower the quality of the interaction and discussion on this board' with my nonsense

I have always hated the Empire Carpet guy. I do not trust him one bit.

CRAP. Blows Against the Empire!

Here's my theory: the guy on the screen is not the source of that voice. After I figured that out, the commercial stopped creeping me out to such a great extent.

yeah, what was up with that "late night with empire guy" commercial.

fucking GAE!!!

their little computer animated bit at the end always creeps me out too.

KAAARAAAP!!!

Remember when the number was 588-2300? Now it's 800-588-2300 and that little "800" messes up the flow of the song. I'm a fan of the original.

C'mon.

He seems a nice fellow. Almost fatherly. My god, how i wish my father could install carpet as well.

I think the voice is getting strained... this is a man that has been huffing carpet glue for half a century. He seems to be dubbing his commercials in post.

Crafty motherfucker.
