Sorry to say it, but I've seen them. And yeah, I'm pretty sick of them. Maybe I'll just take a nice nap, the next time it comes on. 
And what is with Abe Lincoln, a talking woodchuck, and a guy in an deep sea diving outfit anyway? Anyone who has dreams with such a cast needs to seek professional help.
My dreams frequently look like the sets from "Dark City", and involve Tyra Banks.

You assume incorrectly.
But er... those Lunesta ads sound awfully appealing... "~7-8 hours of restful sleep" *soothing music*.
That cheered me up after a bad day.
The first ad was okay, perhaps even slightly amusing (the first time I saw it). They went downhill rather quickly after that point...
Ah, who knows? Maybe those images are supposed to be metaphorical. If that animal is a beaver, then that one is obvious. Lincoln? Tall guy, with a tall hat...I dunno, phallic symbol? The deep-sea-diving guy? Well, do I really have to explain where he's been "going deep"?
Still a majorly dumb commercial, and they've gone much too often to the well.
And yeah, I'm creeped out by the glowing butterfly floating over sleeping people's faces, too. Something slightly vampiric about it. Maybe these people wake up to find their faces covered by the face-hugger from "Alien".

I just recently read an article about their marketing campaign and how much of a failure it has become. They stated that in test runs some of the consumers will actually forget or cannot follow what the hell the ad is about. Too many characters to detract attention from the main product. They just need one character to do the job..like an apple is to mac or ronald mc donald is to mcdonalds.

It reminds me of the MSN butterfly, which seriously creeps me out.
All things M$ creep me out.
Well yes, there is that general Microsoft creepiness to consider. But the butterfly... what was that about?
No dude, you're doing it wrong.
What I think about, from the OP's ad description:
YOUR NIGHTMARES ARE MISSING YOU
You're persistent enough to remove the crap, to find out what color it turned? For a guy, you must really be anxious about getting pregnant!
I've never seen these commericals. But this thread is reminding me why I love my DVR so damn much. My apt. is now a commercial-free zone. Brilliant!
It could be worse, imagine if Balmer was flying around in your room...naked.
Thanks, before I only used to worry about monsters under the bed.
Well, I guess you had best sleep with a baseball bat within close reach in case Ballmer goes in for the attack.

In his case I think a water pistol would do the job.

Even Stephen King could not imagine something that horrible.
Well, from the amount of sweat he's shown to be able to carry 'round, you'd need a LARGE water tank to handle him.
